Caution: Wear safety glasses when using compressed air in order to prevent eye injury.

2. Using compressed air, blow any dirt out of the quick-connect fitting.

3. Squeeze the plastic retainer release tabs.
4. Choose the correct tool from J 37088-A Tool Set for the size of the fitting. Insert the tool into the female connector, then push inward to release the locking tabs. The plastic retainer will remain on the female connector.

### Installation Procedure

Caution: Always apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting the fuel pipe fittings in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury. This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. During normal operation, the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not lubricated.

1. Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male fuel pipe end.
2. Push both sides of the quick-connect fitting together in order to cause the retaining tabs/fingers to snap into place.
3. Once installed, pull on both sides of the quick-connect fitting in order to make sure the connection is secure.
