1. Remove protective covers from the connections.

2. Screw the threaded socket (2) with Teflon sealing tape (3) into

the pump head.

Do not apply excessive torque to the threaded socket. This

could damage the thread.

3. Using a sharp knife, cut the suction and pressure lines (FEM:

hose with i.d. 4 mm, o.d. 6 mm; UFEM: hose with i.d. 1/8”, o.d.

1/4”) to the required length, with straight square edges.

4. Push the union nut (4), cutting ring (5) and sealing ring (6)

onto the hose (1).

Push the cutting ring and sealing ring over the hose only far

enough for the hose end to protrude around 1 mm.

5. Push the hoses onto the connectors as far as they will go.

6. Hand-tighten the union nut (4).

7. Check that the hoses and hose/connector transitions are

correctly and securely attached.

8. Check the tight seal of the installed fittings.
