5. Connect the actuation hose to the release unit but not to the cylinder valve at this stage.
Make sure to push the actuation hose in fully.
Figure 4-16. Actuation Hose Install
Note: The installation of the actuation hose to the cylinder valve inlet should only be per-
formed by the commissioning engineer, see the last step of Section 4-24.
6. For multi cylinder systems, use an actuation hose to connect the outlet of each valve to the
inlet of the next valve. Make sure to push the actuation hose in fully.
7. After installing all actuation hoses, install a Pilot Line Bleed Valve (P/N 38-400007-001) on
the open actuation port of the last cylinder in the system.
Note: If installing a multi-row cylinder bank, when first row has been installed then connect
up the cables between each pressure gauge low pressure monitoring contacts via the
quick connect cable joiners. This will permit easy access to the contact gauges and so-
lenoid valve(s) on the cylinders in the inner row.
4-6.7.1 Aligning the Release Unit after Pressurization
The construction of the release units allows for alignment/adjustment by hand until the swivel
is tightened. After the swivel is tightened, do not attempt further alignment or adjustment.
CAUTION
Ensure the actuation hose is fully inserted into the release unit. There should be
a gap of no more than 1/4” (6 mm) between the end of the festo connector and
the release unit quick connect.

WARNING
Never attach the release unit to the cylinder valves until the cylinders are
secured in brackets or racking. Under no circumstances is the release unit to
remain attached to the cylinder valve after removal from service, handling,
storage, or during shipment. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
