INSTALLATION
Installation is basically the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
-
Replace O-rings with new ones. Then apply compressor oil to them when installing.
-
Female-side piping connection is thin and easy to deform. Slowly insert the male-side piping straight in axial direction.
-
Insert piping securely until a click is heard.
-
After piping connection is completed, pull male-side piping by hand to make sure that connection does not come loose.
