Changing O-ring on Lid of Pump-Up Chamber


To change the O-ring on the lid of your Pump-Up Chamber
(either Large or Small sealing system)
You will need:
1. Extra Buna 70 O-ring size (223)
2. Probe, large needle or pocket knife
3. O-ring lubricant (Petroleum Jelly)


First, use a probe or needle to remove the old O-ring.


Pull the O-ring off.


Use a rag to clean the O-ring track of old lubricant and debris.


Take the new O-ring and pull it lightly onto one end.
DO NOT stretch the O-ring longer than necessary as it will cause
the O-ring to seat too far into the groove and will not seal well.


Loop the O-ring over the other end of the groove.


Use a pencil or flat long object to press the O-ring into place.


The O-ring should be evenly distributed on all sides.
If it is not - reset the O-ring so it is evenly distributed and
will make contact with inside of chamber on all sides.


Make sure the O-ring was not pulled too tight onto either end.


Lubricate with Petroleum Jelly. - The lid is now ready for use.
