 for any sign of tearing, cracking or pitting. Replace if damaged BEFORE EVERY USE. Jameson O-rings 

are custom designed.  Only Jameson-provided O-rings will guarantee proper safety and effectiveness.

for damage. If rod surface is broken, replace rod.  A scratched rod could cause leaking when scratch passes 

through Stuffing Box O-ring.  Portions of rod can be cut away and new end fitting attached if it is not necessary to replace 

entire rod.
