Before Use

Fitting the quick connector

Note:

 This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors: 

EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK

•  Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system 

you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick 

Connector (2). This will help to maintain an air-tight seal

Note:

Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not 

come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.

2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air 

inlet located at the base of the handle

4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully  and carry out a leak check 

(e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of 
the connectors)

•  Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push 

fit to the tool
