Checking the air
connections
To check the air connections:
1. With the air source turned off, gently tug the air tubing at each
connection.
If you feel resistance at the connection, the tubing has been properly
installed.
2. Turn on the air at the source (house, cylinder, or pump).
3. Listen near each connection for hissing sounds that might indicate a
leak.
If you hear hissing sounds, turn off the air at the source, check and
tighten the connections, and then turn on the air again. If the
problem persists, contact your facilities department or Velocity11
Technical Support.
Disconnecting the
air source You might need to disconnect the air tubing before moving or shipping
the BenchCel device and before performing maintenance or cleaning.
!! DAMAGE HAZARD !! Do not pull the tubing out of the orange
quick disconnect fitting. Doing so can damage the fitting.
To disconnect the air tubing from the BenchCel device:
1. Turn off the air at the source (house, cylinder, or pump).
2. Push and hold the locking collar against the fitting, and then gently
pull the air tubing out.
Note: Alternatively, you can use the SMC Pneumatics tool (TG-2)
to aid in this task. See the manufacturer’s documentation for use
instructions. Contact your local SMC parts supplier for ordering
details.
