I've developed what I hope is a minor leak at the place where the hose meets the cylinder on the gizmo that locks the implement in place. Not a real big deal, since it's only under pressure when you're actually locking or unlocking. But I decided to get in there and see what was going on.
Sure enough, things are a little loose. So I decided to tighten things up -- but I don't know which way is tight. I thought I'd ask you guys rather than taking the whole thing apart.
I've attached a picture of the offending connection. Here's the question; should I be taking the Hose Side nut *away* from the Cylinder Side nut, or should i be trying to draw those two nuts together? I'm having trouble figuring out what that part of the connection is doing.
Thanks in advance.
