CONNECTING TO HOSE
Using two wrenches, connect the field service coupler
to the hose connection. Be sure the connection is
wrench-tight, but do not over-tighten.
CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING THE COUPLER
To connect: The field service coupler should be in the
closed position before connecting to the male half. To
close, turn the actuation knob counterclockwise until
finger tight. Place the field service coupler on the male
coupler, push until it bottoms, and then release the ball
release sleeve.
The balls inside the field service coupler should seat in
the ball race (groove) on the vehicle’s male coupler;
pull out slightly on the field service coupler, away from
the male coupler, to assure a correct connection. Turn
the actuation knob clockwise until it bottoms against
the field service coupler body. The field service
coupler is now in position for maximum flow.
To disconnect: Turn the actuation knob on the field
service coupler counterclockwise until finger tight.
Slide the ball release sleeve toward the actuation knob
and remove the field service coupler from the male
coupler half.
