note: The user shall practice and be able to discon-
nect the couplings quickly in an emergency situation.
1. To connect the coupling, rotate socket sleeve "B" until
the alignment notch in the sleeve is in line with align-
ment peg in body "A".
2. Slide sleeve "B" toward the supply hose (away from plug
"C") and insert plug "C" into socket "A". Release sleeve
"B" while pushing the plug into the socket until engaged,
as evidenced by a "click". Test for positive engagement
by tugging on the plug.
3. Rotate sleeve "B" one-quarter to one-half turn to lock
the plug against accidental release.
4. To disconnect the coupling, realign sleeve "B" with the
body of socket "A" as described in step 1. Slide sleeve
"B" away from the body (toward the supply hose) to
release the plug fitting from the socket.
IF IT IS NOT PRACTICAL TO SEE THE ALIGNMENT
NOTCH IN THE SLEEVE, USE THE FOLLOWING
PROCEDURE TO DISCONNECT THE COUPLING:
1. Grasp sleeve "B" with the right hand.
2. Simultaneously rotate and push the sleeve away from the
plug until the alignment notch in the sleeve lines up with
the alignment peg in the body and the socket separates
from the plug.
