Lubricate the cap O-rings

Every two months

Keep the FROG cap O-rings sealing and easy to open: apply silicone lubricant (part 01-22-9972) to them every 2 months.

What to do

  1. Open the cap and slip out the O-ring(s).
  2. Wipe clean, then run a thin film of silicone lubricant around each one.
  3. Reseat and close.

Silicone only — petroleum grease swells and destroys the rings.
