step 2
When making a connection:
• Ensure that the connector is in the fully open position
and in direct contact with the front of the valve before
moving the actuator
• Align the connector to the thread to prevent damage
to the front seal from sharp edges of the valve
• Place the connector onto/into the valve until it stops.
DO nOT uSE FORCE!
• Rotate the bail to engage the connector. Do
not actuate the loop with excessive force. If the
connection is made correctly, it will connect with
relative ease
• Ensure that the actuating loop has traveled to a
position below parallel to the connector body. Check
to make sure the collets are fully engaged.
