No tooling is allowed for disconnecting or connecting the quick-release coupling.
New situation
1. Lubricate the O-ring with the specified mounting product.
– Always use a new O-ring.
– Make sure that both male and female quick-release couplings are clean and without damage.
2. Insert the male quick-release coupling into the female quick-release coupling until it snaps itself onto the collar of the female quick-release coupling.
– Make sure that the pipes are originally routed.
– Do not press the releasing element (1).
– Replace the releasing element (1) by the c-clip (2), if:
it is damaged.
it is removed from the quick-release coupling.
If using a c-clip (2):
– Insert the male coupling into the female coupling.
– Install the c-clip (2) to lock the connection.
Never reuse a c-clip (2).
3. Check whether the quick-release coupling has engaged correctly by pulling it in the opposite direction. The connection must remain intact.
Replace the release element (1) by the c-clip (2) if there is an axial and/or radial play.
Old situation
1. Mount the retaining clip (2) as shown.
2. Insert the male quick-release coupling (3) into the female quick-release coupling (1) until the retaining clip (2) locks behind the collar of the female quick-release coupling (1).
– Always use a new O-ring.
– Make sure that both male and female quick-release couplings are clean and without damage.
– Make sure that the pipes are as originally routed.
3. Check whether the quick-release coupling has engaged correctly by pulling it in the opposite direction. The connection must remain intact.
