Operating Instructions

These tools are designed for quick and easy disconnection of spring-lock couplings found on many automotive AC and fuel lines. Follow these steps for proper use:

1. Prepare the Line: Ensure the system is depressurized and any necessary safety precautions are taken. Clean the area around the coupling to prevent debris from entering the system.
2. Select the Correct Tool: Choose the tool that matches the size of the line you are disconnecting. The tools are marked with their respective sizes (e.g., 5/16", 3/8").
3. Insert the Tool: Slide the appropriate disconnect tool over the line and push it into the female connector of the coupling. The tool's design will compress the garter spring inside the fitting.
4. Separate the Coupling: While holding the tool firmly in place, pull the male connector (the line) away from the female connector. The tool will hold the garter spring open, allowing the line to separate.
5. Remove the Tool: Once the line is disconnected, remove the tool from the line.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your OEMTOOLS disconnect tool set, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tools clean with a dry cloth to remove any oil, grease, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Storage: Store the tools in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a tool roll/box to prevent loss and damage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect each tool for signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Although made of durable plastic, excessive force or improper use can cause damage. Replace any damaged tools immediately.
