OPERATING
PROCEDURES.
BONDING
Make sure nozzle is properly bonded to item being fueled to avoid static electricity
discharge and possible explosion.
NOTE
Bonding can be accomplished by either a bonding plug or universal clip.
(2) Connect bonding plug (2) or universal clip (3) from bonding cable (4) to frame or other metal surface of
item to be fueled.
(3) Grasp the handle grips (5) and align the connection end with the adapter on the item to be fueled.
(4) Press the nozzle collar (6) against the adapter while slightly rotating the nozzle (if necessary) to align the
nozzle index pins (7) with the adapter slots.
(5) With the nozzle collar (6) aligned, press the nozzle against the adapter flange until the collar lock pins (8) are
depressed sufficiently to permit rotation of the collar in the clockwise direction until the collar is fully
engaged against a mechanical stop (approximately 30-35 degrees of collar rotation).
• Lever rotation to an intermediate position is unsafe and can result in a flowing
disconnect and dangerous fuel spill.
• A flowing disconnect and dangerous fuel spill can result if nozzle collar is removed
while under pressure. Severe personal injury or death can result.
If the Lever is not rotated against the full open stop, the adapter poppet spring force
may move the nozzle poppet to a partially closed position which will unnecessarily
increase the time required to refuel and cause unnecessary wear of both the nozzle and
the adapter. (If Lever movement is observed during fuel flow, the Lever was not in
the full open, over center, position).
(6) With the collar (6) fully engaged and stopped, rotate the lever (9) to the full OPEN, linkage over center,
position until the internal mechanical stop, (approximately 200 degrees) of the lever rotation, is reached.
(7) Before starting fuel flow, grasp handles (5) and be sure collar (6) connection is tight and cannot be rotated
counterclockwise.
(8) Start fuel flow.
