2. To help prevent a hydraulic leak, replace the O-ring when you open the
connection.
3. Lightly lubricate the O-ring with clean hydraulic fluid. Ensure that the threads
of the fitting are clean with no lubricant applied.
4. Turn back the locknut as far as possible. Ensure that the back-up washer is
not loose and it is pushed up as far as possible (Step 1 in
Before installing the fitting into the port, determine the material of
which the port is made. Installing a fitting into an aluminum port
requires a reduced installation torque.
5. Install the adjustable fitting into the port by hand until the washer contacts the
face of the port (Step 2 in
6. If the adjustable fitting needs to align with another component, rotate the fitting
counterclockwise until it is aligned to the desired position (Step 3 in
25). Do not rotate the adjustable fitting more than 1 turn counterclockwise.
7. Hold the fitting in the correct alignment with a wrench and use a torque
wrench and tighten the fitting to the recommended torque value within the
specified range of torque values; refer to the
(page 4–7). This tightening procedure requires a drive-adapter wrench (e.g.,
crowfoot wrench).
Note: It may be necessary to use a drive-adapter wrench (e.g., crowfoot
wrench) to install a hydraulic fitting; refer to
When Using a Drive-Adapter Wrench (page
8. If a torque wrench is not available or if space at the port prevents the use
of a torque wrench, use the alternative procedure
Table (page 4–9) given below;
A. Hold the fitting in the correct alignment with a wrench and, if the port
material is steel, tighten the locknut with a second wrench to the listed
FFFT (Step 4 in
B. If the port material is aluminum, tighten the fitting to 60% of the listed
FFFT; refer to the
