bulkhead adapter.
2. Lubricate o-ring on the rotary joint’s bulkhead
adapter.
3. From the inside, insert the bulkhead adapter through
the hole in the hubcap marked “Air.” Be sure to align
the flat on the bulkhead adapter to the flat inside the

to hubcap to prevent hoses rubbing on the wheel. Failure to
properly “clock” hubcap may result in hose failure.
