REFERENCE 2. Apply hydraulic system oil to O-ring (B). 3. Align the tube or hose assembly so that the flat face of sleeve (A) or (C) comes into full contact with O-ring (B). 4. Thread tube or hose nut (D) until it is hand-tight. The nut should turn freely until it bottoms out.
Page 483 REFERENCE 4. Torque the connector to the appropriate torque angle. The turns from finger tight (TFFT) and flats from finger tight (FFFT) values are shown in Table 9.12, page 463. Ensure that the tube end of a shaped connector (typically a 45° or 90° elbow) is aligned to receive the incoming tube or hose assembly.
