Notes regarding press fluid OH 723
Press fluid OH 723 produces a lubricant film to aid
in assembly. The lubricant evaporates after a short
time allowing for a tight fit.
Never use fuel, oil or grease as a lubricant. Fuel, oil
and grease does not evaporate and may allow the
hose to slip from the connector.

Extracted from the manufacturer's 2012 service catalogue. Most of these PDFs embed fonts with a shifted character map, so the text above was recovered rather than copied — read it as a faithful but imperfect transcription, and treat the page image above each block as the authority where the two disagree — the figures exist only there, because they are vector drawings that text extraction cannot keep.
