Air Fittings
Push-in
fi
ttings are used to connect air hoses
between pneumatically operated items. Fittings,
sizes and types vary for different applications.
Threaded
fi
ttings adapt
the push-in
fi
ttings to
connect pneumatically
operated items. Parts
include the release ring,
locking ring, solid brass
body and special rubber
compound O-ring.
Damaged hoses can be
repaired by splicing.
To Disconnect Hose:
Push hose into
fi
tting.
Push release ring down against locking
ring portion of the
fi
tting body.
While holding the release ring down,
pull hose away from
fi
tting.
To Connect Hose:
Push hose into
fi
tting through the release
ring and the O-ring. Use a slight twisting
motion to seat
fi
rmly against the internal
tube stop.
Pull hose away from
fi
tting to expand
and set inner seal. Ensure hose is
properly retained in
fi
tting.
NOTE:
When putting air hose back into fitting,
be sure that hose is cut as squarely as
possible to evenly seal in the fitting.
The cavity of the positive tubing stop
provides support to prevent leakage.
WARNING:
DO NOT remove air hoses from fittings
while system is pressurized. Serious
injury may occur.
WARNING:
Never place yourself under motorhome
without first properly blocking frame
(jackstands) from coming down in case
of rapid deflation of air system.
Air Coupler - Universal
A remote air supply coupler is located in the
roadside compartment behind the front tire. The

of ¼" ID male air
fi
ttings, including type C
automotive. The auxiliary air
fi
tting may be used
to in
fl
ate tires, air mattresses or other pneumatic
items. This
fi
tting is not designed to charge the
air system on the motorhome. The air supply for
the auxiliary air
fi
tting is charged from the front
air tank through a pressure protection valve.

Remove the plastic protective dust cap.
Using a
fi
rm grip, insert the air
fi
tting
into auxiliary air supply. The locking
