IMPORTANT:
To properly operate and maintain your DIXON BAYCO hose swivel the
following instructions are provided. Please read with care as improper handling or
maintenance may cause a hazardous condition.
CAUTION:
Do not modify your DIXON BAYCO hose swivel for any reason. It could
result in a hazardous condition due to operating difficulties or malfunction.
Disassembly or tampering will void the product warranty.
Installation
:
DIXON BAYCO hose swivels are properly adjusted, tested and ready to
use upon leaving the factory. When connecting the hose swivel to the hose or pipe
fitting, apply a thin layer of a suitable thread sealant (such as DIXON “LCTS 1”) to
the male threads on both the hose swivel and the connecting fitting. Tighten each end
snugly to ensure a leak proof connection. WARNING: DO NOT over-tighten during
installation. DO NOT use a pipe wrench, which can cause distortion of the body and
possible leakage. A spanner or crescent wrench is recommended. Tightening with a
pipe wrench WILL VOID WARRANTY.
Care & Handling:
DIXON BAYCO hose swivels are tested at the factory and are in
proper working condition when shipped. Hose swivels are designed to be tough and to
provide long service with reasonable care and handling. However, never drag hose
swivels across rough surfaces as this may cause damage and malfunction. Immediately
remove from service any hose swivel that is not performing satisfactorily.
Inspect for Loose Set-Screws
:
Hose swivels can fail to perform properly if not
maintained. Occasionally check all three set-screws for tightness. If found to be loose,
retighten securely; take care not to strip the threads. If one or more set-screws is
missing, immediately replace with a new set-screw and lock washer. Please see back
page for available repair kits.
Lubrication:
DIXON BAYCO supplies each hose swivel already lubricated. However, should the
hose swivel become difficult to rotate it is recommended to re-lubricate. The hose
swivel can be lubricated without disassembly. HOWEVER, MAKE SURE THE
HOSE SWIVEL IS NOT UNDER PRESSURE. DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS
OR PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR!
Order repair kit SWMF-RK1.
Remove one of the three set-screws (3) from the hose swivel with a 1/8” hex key.
Insert the grease-fitting adapter into the screw hole; connect grease fitting to
adapter; be careful not to strip the threads inside the screw hole!
