Assemble Hose Fittings
The hoses included in the kit require assembly prior to installation.
The two piece connection fittings must be installed
to the end of the hose. For detailed instructions see manual 3A3159.
NOTE:
Steps 1-7 refer to F
1. Wrap or slide the hose wrap over the end of the cut-to-length hose until the entire length of the hose is encased
in the hose wrap.
2. Trim the hose wrap, leaving approximately 1 inch of the hose end unwrapped.
3. Remove the stud and sleeve from their package and disassemble the two pieces.
4. Lubricate the sleeve threads and hose inside diameter.
5. Install the sleeve onto the end of the hose by rotating it counter-clockwise until its seated.
6. Back off 1/4 turn. This will allow enough space for the stud to be connected.
7. Thread the stud clockwise into the sleeve until the sleeve nearly bottoms out against the stud shoulder.
8. Repeat Steps 1-7 for all hose assemblies.

NOTICE
Do not over-tighten the fittings during the final assembly. After the two fittings are securely connected, stop tighten-
ing. Over-tightening can damage the fittings and a new hose assembly will need to be made.
The sleeve should be firm when tightening but not difficult to install. If the sleeve is difficult to install, check the hose
for proper lubrication. Reapply lubricant as needed. Installation without proper lubrication can cause damage to the
core tube.
