threads and improperly crimped
nut (if applicable). Do not use if
these conditions exist.
Lubricate –
Using an SAE

weight lubricating oil,
lightly lubricate inside and
outside of hose end.
Using a Parker VBS or VBL
(
vise block), place hose in
proper hole of vise block and
place in bench vise. Ensure
