• To calibrate , the calibration tool must be inserted
and rotated simultaneously.
• For countersinking, the tool must be rotated
clockwise until the cutting edge reaches the
aluminium part of the pipe.
• In order to facilitate the insertion of the pipe, wet
the hose or the coupling just with clean water.
Attention!
Lubrication with oil or grease will cause
irreparable damage to the O-ring in the
coupling.
The pipe must be inserted fully into the seat in the
coupling (check it through the special indicator in the
plastic ring).
2.9 Inserting the pipe into the coupling
• When inserting the pipe into the coupling, ensure
that both are in perfect axial alignment, and do not
rotate.
