11. Troubleshooting Procedures
Install the Jets
NOTE: The jet O ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to permit
easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.
- Install the O ring onto the first shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O ring with silicone lubricant to prevent noisy
operation of the jet.
- Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into position. Do not
force the jet.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.
