2-15. ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE - cont.
h. Quick Disconnect Couplings. Refer to figure 2-15.
All components of the AFARE are equipped with quick disconnect couplings to permit rapid assembly and
disassembly of components. The following instructions apply to all operator installation and removal tasks.
WARNING
Do not touch metal surfaces with bare skin. Bare skin will freeze to metal surfaces
In sub-zero temperatures Always wear arctic mittens when handling components.
CAUTIONS
Use care when connecting couplings to avoid getting Ice, snow, dirt, sand and
debris on coupling mating surfaces or In hoses.
To prevent leaks and ensure tight connections, make sure gaskets are installed
in all female quick disconnect couplings before connecting components.
CONNECTION
(1) Pull locking arms (1) out from female coupling (2).
(2) Remove plug (3) from female coupling (2).
(3) Pull locking arms (5) out from cap (4).
(4) Remove cap (4) from male coupling (6).
(5) Position male coupling (6) in female coupling (2) and hold in place.
(6) Pull both locking arms (1) back at the same time until arms are down against body of female
coupling (2).
(7) Verify that male coupling (6) and female coupling (2) are connected by pulling on couplings.
Couplings should remain securely connected and locking arms (1) must be remain snug against
coupling body.
DISCONNECTION
WARNINGS
Do not disconnect hose couplings while fuel system is pressurized. Hose ends
may whip, causing severe injury to personnel and damage to equipment.
Whenever hoses are disconnected, fuel spills may occur and potential for fire
exists.
(8) Pull locking arms (1) out from female coupling (2).
(9) Pull female coupling (2) from male coupling (6)
.
(10) Insert plug (3) in female coupling (2) and pull locking arms (1) back against coupling body.
(11) Place cap (4) over male coupling (6) and pull locking arms (5) back against coupling body.
