Installation Guide

1. Ensure the engine is off and the fuel system is depressurized. Place an absorbent pad under the work area to catch any fuel drips.
2. Disconnect the old female fitting from the fuel line. This may require carefully cutting the old hose clamp.
3. Inspect the end of the fuel hose for any signs of wear, cracking, or damage. Trim if necessary for a clean connection.
4. Slide a new hose clamp over the fuel hose.
5. Firmly push the new sprayless female connector into the fuel hose until it is fully seated.
6. Position the hose clamp approximately 1/4 inch from the end of the hose and tighten it securely.
7. Connect the fitting to the male connector on the fuel tank or engine and listen for a click to confirm engagement.
8. Prime the fuel bulb until it becomes firm, and carefully inspect the connection for any signs of leakage.
