Connector Maintenance:
 A daily, weekly and periodic inspection of the connector by competent person is
recommended. User must establish a regular interval for maintenance as
determined by the user media and operational environment.
 Inspection should include visual checks of the sealing area, handle wear, missing
or loose components, leak tightness, ease of operation, sufficient lubrication,
wear, dirt accumulation and damage.
 Establish a regular interval for lubrication. The media and environment will be
determining factors in establishing this interval to prevent dryness and/or
corrosion.
 Difficulty of operation after continual use indicates a need for lubrication or other
maintenance.
 Use only original FasTest spare parts that are designed for the application and
are subject to strict quality control. See Warranty.
