All hoses, tubes and wires that are installed, rerouted or shifted
during the installation must be secured so that they do not contact
any hot, sharp or moving parts. Use rubber coated P-clips wherever
possible. Follow the routing suggestions in this manual and cover all
hoses with plastic loom.
Cut the tube square. Do not use side
cutters as they will deform the tube
Slide the collet out once
the tube is fully inserted

Push-To-Connect Fittings (Figure 61)
☐
Lubricate the tube and firmly push it into the fitting so that the tube fully seats
in the fitting.
☐
Slide the collet out, away from the body of the fitting to lock the tubing in place.
☐
Ensure the tube does not have any “play” to prevent the O-ring from wearing.
When routing hoses, ensure cap plugs are installed so that
contaminants do not get in the line. Take care when routing hoses,
as a hose failure may damage the compressor and/or cause injury.
