and fitting threads are free of burrs, nicks, scratches,
or any foreign material.
2. Apply hydraulic system oil to the O-ring (B).
3. Align the tube or hose assembly so that the flat face
of the sleeve (A) or (C) comes in full contact with
O-ring (B).
4. Thread tube or hose nut (D) until hand-tight. The nut
