Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before connecting the kit, ensure the hydraulic system is de-pressurized to prevent injury. Identify the correct test port thread—whether G, M, UNF, or NPT—and select the corresponding coupling from the kit. Tighten connections by hand or with proper tools, taking care not to over-torque the adapters to avoid damage to the sealing surfaces. After use, purge the test hoses of remaining hydraulic fluid to prevent environmental contamination. Regularly clean the exterior of the gauges with a soft, dry cloth and inspect the hoses for signs of wear or cracking. Always store the components inside the provided case to protect the gauge lenses from impact and the fittings from dirt or moisture accumulation.
