Installation Instructions

• Preparation:
  • Ensure all components are clean and free of debris.
  • Inspect the adapter and the connecting equipment for any signs of damage.
• Attachment:
  • Align the female swivel rocker lug with the male end of the hose or equipment.
  • Rotate the swivel rocker lug clockwise until it is securely attached.
• Securing the Connection:
  • Tighten the connection using a suitable wrench to ensure a leak-proof seal.
  • For Storz couplings 4” and larger, engage the NFPA compliant Storz-Lok mechanism to lock the connection in place.
• Final Check:
  • Verify that the connection is secure and there are no leaks.
  • Test the connection under low pressure before full operation to ensure stability.
• Detachment:
  • To disconnect, rotate the swivel rocker lug counterclockwise.
  • For Storz couplings 4” and larger, disengage the Storz-Lok mechanism before detaching.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Leakage at Connection:
  • Cause: Loose connection or damaged gasket.
  • Solution: Tighten the connection using a wrench. Inspect and replace the gasket if necessary.
• Difficulty in Swiveling:
  • Cause: Lack of lubrication or debris in the swivel mechanism.
  • Solution: Clean the swivel mechanism and apply lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
• Corrosion or Rust:
  • Cause: Exposure to harsh environments or lack of maintenance.
  • Solution: Clean the adapter thoroughly after each use and apply a corrosion-resistant coating if needed.
• Incompatibility with Equipment:
  • Cause: Incorrect size or type of adapter.
  • Solution: Verify the size and type of adapter required for your equipment. Ensure compatibility before use.
• Storz-Lok Mechanism Not Engaging:
  • Cause: Misalignment or debris in the locking mechanism.
  • Solution: Ensure proper alignment and clean the locking mechanism. Engage the Storz-Lok mechanism firmly.
