Connection of the rescue equipment
SINGLE coupling
The dust caps must be removed before coupling the two coupling parts (fig. 1). Then bring
the coupling connector and the coupling sleeve together and turn gently into the bayonet catch (fig.
2).
Now grip the sleeve by the knurled black rotating assembly and turn clockwise (direction 1) until the
coupling locks in (fig. 3). To prevent contamination, the two dust caps must then be pushed together
(fig. 4).
Disconnect the connection by turning anticlockwise (direction 0). Then re-insert the dust caps
immediately.
Appliances that are equipped with the SINGLE coupler can also be coupled in a depressurised circuit as
long as the appliances that are connected are not actuated.

Plug-in coupler (SKS)
The dust caps must be removed before coupling the two coupling parts. Then grasp the coupling
sleeve's bushing with one hand and hold the coupling connector (black) by

A pressure relief plug is no longer required when using the SINGLE coupler.

the hexagonal bar with the other hand. Connect the two parts and, using slight pressure, press
the sleeve against the coupling plug until it engages (Fig. 1).
To disconnect, hold the coupling connector (black) by the hexagonal bar. Grasp the coupling
sleeve by the sleeve with the other hand and pull this back. It is inevitable that a few drops of
hydraulic oil will escape when disconnecting.
The dust caps must then be re-inserted immediately to prevent contamination.
(Fig. 1).
NOTE!
A pressure relief plug is mounted on the hydraulic units and the hand pump.
This can be used to release a few drops of oil from the hose line. This makes
coupling possible if there are pressure increases in uncoupled appliances.
To do this, simply insert the relief plug into the coupling sleeve and turn the
knurled screw to the right until oil escapes.
NOTE!
Only the SINGLE coupler is described in the following section.
