INTRODUCTION
STC® disassembly action
NOTICE:
Do not use the disconnect tool to pry on the
parts. Prying can result in damage. Insert the tool straight
into the connection. The proper connection and discon-
nection of
STC®
parts is outlined later in this section.
1. Release pressure from the hydraulic system prior to
disconnecting components.
2. Some fluid may still be in the system. Minimize fluid
loss by draining the fluid from system components
prior to disconnection.
3. Prior to disconnection, clean the area around the fit-
tings with a clean cloth, Or using an airgun to blow dirt
and debris from the release sleeve area.
4. To help avoid the release sleeve from tearing, create
an (for the release sleeve) insertion gap by moving the
sleeve in the release direction. This can be done either
by hand or by using a single prong of the release tool.
5. As the
STC®
tool
(1)
is inserted behind the release
sleeve
(2)
, the steel insert pushes the latching ring
forward into a groove in the female half I.D., allowing
the two halves to be pulled apart. The thickness of
the tool moves the sleeve forward far enough to make
the disconnection, so prying sideways with the tool is
unnecessary
