Hoses and General information:
Now that you have everything wired to your pneumatic system, it's time to connect the hoses.
The best way to do this is to follow the
Pneumatics Manual that FIRST has provided. Particularly, page 10 for the picture representation.
Remember to set the low pressure side to 60PSI or lower. Check for leaks. I recommend some foaming soap (such as Dawn Foam). Be sure to keep the soap away from electronics though! I recommend foaming soap over soapy water because the soap will not run and drip as bad.
Keep the release valve in an easy to access place.
Wrap screwed in connections with Teflon tape. Be sure to wrap it in the right direction, and do not put too much Teflon on the connections. To wrap it correctly, hold the part with the threads facing away from you, then turn clockwise while wrapping the Teflon. This way, the Teflon stays in place when you screw it into something.
Refer to 2010's R72-R79 for rules regarding pneumatics.
