CAUTION
Do not use Stanosol
®
or any other liquid that
leaves an oily film and does not evaporate quick-
l
y, since this may result in incorrect seating of
the Toric Ring in the housing, resulting in seal
leakage.
A. Wet the rubber Toric Ring with isopropyl alco-
hol and install it onto the formed seal ring so
that it is seated at the bottom of the seal ring
ramp and against the retaining lip. Figure 4.19.
B. Make sure the Toric Ring is not twisted by
rapidly pulling it away from the seal ring and
letting it snap back. Do this in a number of
places until the seal is correctly seated. Be
careful not to nick or cut the Toric Ring seal,
as this will cause leaks.
