As soon as the clamp unlocks,
the pressure in the hose will
cause the handles to spread
rapidly. Be prepared to ap-
ply downward pressure on the
handles so they open slowly and
the hose is re-pressurized in a
controlled manner.
An uncontrolled pressure surge
may cause the end of the hose to
jump dangerously and unpredict-
ably. It is important to release the
clamp from the hose in a slow,
controlled manner to avoid injury
or damage.
