After reading all the post, I figured I should try doing that just in case. No luck at all with fingers or pliers. The cap ring is very thin on mine and the head clip is not the same as in the picture . Maybe they used different caps on some. There are two small depressions in the top of the cap that look like they may take a spring type lock ring tool that might unscrew the cap. IDK.. I am gonna call them Monday and ask some questions. The O ring should be easily serviceable. No service manual available on line.

Once you reach someone, they get good reviews for assistance and even free parts. I had good luck a year ago getting a new cap for the business end of the pump, but after the $5 shipping charge for a 50 cent part, it wasn't exactly free. Maybe the O ring is available locally.
