Quick release connector locations
Type A
• An SST is not used with this type.
• Mainly consists of a retainer and O-ring. The quick release connector is integrated with the evaporative hose and therefore cannot be disassembled.
• When the quick release connector is connected, the joint port projection is locked at the clamp lock point. By pushing the clamp release tab to expand the clamp, the lock point is released allowing the joint port to be disconnected.
• To connect the quick release connector properly, push it into the joint port until a locking click sound is heard.
• New quick release connectors are fitted with a checker tab that prevents improper fit. This checker tab cannot normally be removed. When the quick release connector is properly connected to the joint port, the lock is released and the checker tab comes off. Due to this, it can be verified that the quick release connector is completely connected.
Type B
• An SST is not used with this type.
• The joint port can be disconnected by squeezing the release tab until the locking tabs release.
• To connect the quick release connector properly, push it into the joint port until a locking click sound is heard.
• New quick release connectors are fitted with a checker tab that prevents improper fit. This checker tab cannot normally be removed. When the quick release connector is properly connected to the connection point, the lock is released and the checker tab comes off. Due to this, it can be verified that the quick release connector is completely connected.
Type C
• Multiple SSTs are used with this type.
