TM 10-4930-241-13
2-16. ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE - CONT.
e.
Quick disconnect couplings. Refer to figure 2-13.
All components of the AFSSP module 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 surfaces with bare skin. Bare skin will freeze to metal surfaces in subzero temperatures. Always
wear arctic mittens when handling components.
CAUTIONS
•
Use care when connecting couplings to avoid getting metal, ice, snow, dirt, sand and debris on coupling
mating surfaces or in hoses.
•
To prevent leaks and ensure tight connections, make sure arctic gaskets (blue) 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 (4) out from cap (5).
(4)
Remove cap (5) from male coupling (6).
(5)
Position male coupling (6) in female coupling (2) and hold in place.
(6)
Pull 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 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.
•
When hoses are disconnected, spills may occur and the potential for fire exists.
(8)
Pull locking arms (1) from female coupling (2).
