Daily water flush |
| |
When you are finished making injections for the day, flush chemical from your Wedgle Direct-Inject . This will prevent clogging or corrosion.
- Remove the chemical pack from the top QC coupler.
- Place the injection unit in a bucket of water until the top QC coupler is submerged.
- Squeeze the handles five times to flush out any remaining chemical.
- Remove injection tip.
- Replace dust caps on both QC couplers.

Replace piston O-ring each spring |
| |
At the beginning of each growing season, or if your injection unit has been unused for several months, replace the piston O-ring.
To replace the piston O-ring, use the screwdriver end of the multipurpose tool to unscrew the two piston connector rods (#26). Be careful not to lose the lever nuts from inside the
handles (#28). Pull the piston assembly out of the handle, revealing the piston spring (#23) and the O-ring. Remove and replace O-ring using #13—the smallest O-ring in the parts kit.
Prior to reassembly, apply a small amount of lubricant, such as Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly, to the piston O-ring and piston rod. Carefully slide the
piston assembly back into the barrel of the handle. Reattach the connector rods into the lever nuts. These parts are small and can take a little time to align properly. You can use a paper clip to help align the lever nut with the connector rod. Tighten the rods snugly, but do not over tighten.

QC coupler O-ring maintenance |
| |
QC coupler O-rings may be replaced if a coupler is not sealing correctly.
There is a large O-ring (#02) at the base of the top coupler and on the front of the main body. Use the multipurpose tool to remove the coupler from the injection body and replace the O-ring.
There is a medium-sized O-ring (#03) inside
each coupler.
These can be replaced while the
coupler is attached to the body of the unit. Use
a paper clip to remove the old O-ring and to help
insert the new one.
