HOSE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Hold the fixed portion of the hose coupling with
one wrench; use a second wrench to tighten or
loosen the hose nut. This will avoid damaging the
fitting seal. When tightening a hose, do not permit
it to twist; hold it in a normal straight position.
2. When installing mower hoses, place the fittings at
angles to avoid contact with fixed parts when turn-
ing. Make sure hoses are assembled to proper “A”
and “B” ports on components.
