1. Remove protective covers from the connections.
2. Screw the threaded socket (
2
) with Teflon sealing tape (
3
) into
the pump head.
Do not apply excessive torque to the threaded socket. This
could damage the thread.
3. Using a sharp knife, cut the suction and pressure lines (FEM:
hose with i.d. 4 mm, o.d. 6 mm; UFEM: hose with i.d. 1/8”, o.d.
1/4”) to the required length, with straight square edges.
4. Push the union nut (
4
), cutting ring (
5
) and sealing ring (
6
)
onto the hose (
1
).
Push the cutting ring and sealing ring over the hose only far
enough for the hose end to protrude around 1 mm.
5. Push the hoses onto the connectors as far as they will go.
6. Hand-tighten the union nut (
4
).
7. Check that the hoses and hose/connector transitions are
correctly and securely attached.
8. Check the tight seal of the installed fittings.
