Torque Procedure

Seal-Lok™ fittings
1 Replace the O-ring. The O-ring must be
replaced anytime the seal has been broken.
The O-ring cannot be re-used if the fitting or
hose end has been tightened beyond finger
tight.
Note: The O-ring in Parker Seal Lok™ fittings and
hose end are custom-size O-rings. They are not
standard size O-rings. They are available in the
O-ring field service kit (Genie part number 49612).
2 Lubricate the O-ring before installation.
3 Be sure the O-ring face seal is seated and
retained properly.
4 Position the tube and nut squarely on the face
seal end of the fitting, and tighten the nut
finger tight.
5 Tighten the nut or fitting to the appropriate
torque. Refer to the appropriate torque chart in
this section.
6 Operate all machine functions and inspect the
hose, fittings and related components to
confirm there are no leaks.

determine the correct number of flats, for the
proper tightening position.

positions have been determined. Use the second
mark on the body hex fitting to properly tighten the
joint after it has been loosened.
