Checklist
WARNING
Prior to initial use of the Quick-Connect Fittings, the operator must use a clean new
rag to thoroughly clean the Fittings. Then lubricate the Quick-Connect fittings for
optimal performance and reliable sealing.
Failure to execute this crucial step can lead to seal failure and the potential for leaking connections,
undermining the efficiency and safety of the entire hydraulic system. Effective cleaning of the fittings
ensures the removal of contaminants, dirt, and debris that could compromise the integrity of the seals
and hinder the mating surfaces from achieving a secure bond. Applying lubricant to the fittings
enhances their ability to form a tight and reliable seal, reducing the risk of leakage and providing
smoother engagement and disengagement.
Prior to first use:
1. Thoroughly clean both Male and Female Quick-Connect couplings with a clean rag.
2. Liberally coat the exterior of the male Quick-Connect Fitting with new hydraulic fluid. This will
ensure that the internal O-ring seals will move smoothly over the mating surfaces without tearing.
