Notes:
•
Push-fit, barbed fittings are not intended for repeated disconnection/connection.
•
Fittings are sealed during production and should not be removed from the camera body.
1. Apply pressure and remove the tubing with a twisting motion, while holding the camera body.
2. Once disconnected, the tubing should be inspected for cracks or stretching. It may be necessary to cut the end
section of tubing so that a tight seal can be obtained.
