    Removing: 

    Push quick-release coupling (1) against pipe (4) (thereby relieving strain on spring (2)).

    Press plastic ring (3) into quick-release coupling (1) and remove coupling (1).

    Installing: 

    Markings (K) on coupling (1) and pipe (4) must be flush.

    Push quick-release coupling (1) onto pipe (4) until a "click" can clearly be heard.

    To check that quick-release coupling (1) has been installed correctly, pull it back forcefully.

  2. Quick-release coupling with indication pins

    Removing: 

    Press plastic ring (2) into quick-release coupling (1) and remove coupling (1).

    Installing: 

    Push quick-release coupling (1) onto connector (3) until both indication pins (4) can be seen and felt to point outwards at outside diameter of housing.

    To check that quick-release coupling (1) has been correctly fitted, feel indication pins (4) at outside diameter of housing. When correctly seated, indication pins (4) cannot be pressed into housing.

    CAUTION: Coupling is not correctly engaged if both indication pins (4) fail to protrude from housing. Leakage is thus unavoidable.
