HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the System: Before beginning, ensure the system containing the hose is completely depressurized and has cooled down, especially if it involves fluids that can be hot or under pressure.
2. Access the Connection: Position yourself to have clear access to the hose connection point where the hose meets the pipe or fitting.
3. Insert the Tool Tip: Carefully insert the rounded or curved tip of the Lang Tools 854-1 between the hose end and the mating connector. Ensure the tool tip is flush against the inner surface of the hose or the outer surface of the connector to maximize leverage and prevent damage.
4. Apply Leverage for Removal: Once properly positioned, apply gentle but firm leverage with the tool. Use a pushing or prying motion to gradually separate the hose from the connector. The straight design allows for direct force application.
5. Assist with Installation (if applicable): While primarily a remover, the smooth profile of the tool can also be used to carefully push a new hose onto a connection. Apply even pressure around the circumference of the hose to guide it into place, ensuring a snug and proper fit without pinching or tearing the material.
6. Verify Connection: After removal or installation, inspect the hose and connection for any signs of damage or improper seating.
