Think about the tortoise and the hare the next time you connect the diferential
oil line on yoUr ML13-series carriER.
±em²mber that the hare paid Fr his lack o³ attention by losing the race, even
tho he had all the speed.
YoU can lose´ too´ i³ yoU race through the connection without paµing close
attention. That quick-disconnect reqUires a sure hand when yoU reconnect it.
Check that you rotate the lockIng band ¶rmly into place. Then give the line
a push-pUll and a quick twist to make sUre it's moUnted right and tight·
Otherwise´ the oil under high pressUre in the line can blow the disconnect of·
You know what happens a¸er that.
Be like the tortoise. Slow and steady does it. The qUick in quick-disconnect
doesn't mean careless¹º»¼
