PUSH-IN FITTINGS REMOVAL

Depress collar (10) and disconnect tubing (11).

PUSH-IN FITTINGS INSTALLATION

NOTE

Air tubing is stocked in bulk lengths. Measure original air

tubing and cut new tubing to same length. Trim ends of

tubing to get a smooth, square cut.

1.

Install tubing (11) into fitting (12) until tubing bottoms out.

2.

Pull on tubing (11) to verify it is fully installed.

TEST

NOTE

Semitrailer must be coupled to a prime mover or to an

air source at the Schrader valve to perform test.

Apply soapy water to air tubings and fittings and check for leaks. If a compression sleeve fitting leaks

during test, tighten nut. If a push-in fitting leaks during test, verify tubing is bottomed out. If tubing leaks,

replace tubing.

FOLLOW-ON TASK

Disconnect semitrailer grounding cables (WP 0007 00).
