ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
FOR DISCONNECT
COUPLINGS
Start by loosening the six (6) plastic hex screws
on the block that holds the female disconnects.
Loosen them only enough to allow unit to move
slightly. Retract jack screws on the same plastic
block with a 6mm long shank hex key or “T” type
wrench. Unit should be free to float at this point.
Using your hand, push the male disconnect block
assembly to engage fully into the female discon-
nects. While holding the connection in place,
tighten the four corner hex head screws of the
female block assembly. Tighten lightly with a ½”
end wrench. Tighten the remaining four (4) screws
equally as light. Allow the disconnects to separate,
then re-engage them. If a metal scraping sound
is heard or they are hard to engage, locate the
area where the parts are interfering. If it is at the
top or bottom, the eight hex head bolts with have
to be loosened and the block moved up or down
slightly. Use the same tightening procedure as
stated above. If the interference is side to side the
appropriate jack screw will have to be tightened
or loosened. Re-engage the disconnects and re-
check. This procedure may have to be preformed
several times to achieve proper alignment. A slight
interference is acceptable. The female disconnect,
if properly installed with the .030" (0.76mm) gap,
is floating and will allow some mis-alignment and
still function well. Perform the same procedure
for the opposite set of disconnects. If, when fin-
ished, the disconnects fully mate when pushed
together by hand, the alignment is complete. Do
not tighten the six (6) mounting screws any further
when finished.
