Plastic Collar Quick Connect Fitting Service
Removal Procedure
1. Grasp both sides of the quick connect fitting and twist 1/4 turn in each direction in order to loosen any dirt.
Caution: Wear safety glasses when using compressed air in order to prevent eye injury.
2. Remove any dirt, dust, or other foreign material from the quick connect fitting with compressed air.
3. Squeeze the release tabs on the plastic retainer.
4. Pull the quick connect fuel fitting apart. Use a shop towel to catch any remaining fuel that may leak from the fuel line and the fitting.
Installation Procedure
Caution: Always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting the fuel pipe fittings in order to reduce the risk of
fire and personal injury. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. During normal operation, the O-rings located in the
female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.
