REMOVAL PROCEDURE

2. Using compressed air, blow any dirt out of the quick-connect fitting.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses when using compressed air in order to prevent eye injury.
3. Squeeze the plastic retainer release tabs.
4. Pull the connection apart.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male fuel pipe end.
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.
