          Check for foreign matter in the pipe and around the connector. Clean if necessary. Foreign matter may damage the O-ring or cause leaks in the seal between the pipe and connector.

        • Do not use any tools to separate the pipe and connector.

        • Do not forcefully bend or twist the nylon tube.

        • Check for foreign matter on the pipe seal surface. Clean if necessary.

        • Put the pipe and connector ends in plastic bags to prevent damage and foreign matter contamination.

        • If the pipe and connector are stuck together, pinch the connector between your fingers and turn it carefully to disconnect it.

      4. Inspect if there is any dirt or the like on the seal surface of the disconnected pipe. Clean it away if necessary.

      5. Prevent the disconnected pipe and connector from damaging and foreign objects from being mixed into by covering them with a plastic bag.
