What happens here
The presenter connects the air hose from the Milwaukee M18 Inflator to a hydraulic line quick-disconnect fitting on a piece of heavy equipment. Before connecting the inflator, a white covering is removed from the hydraulic port. Once connected, the inflator is turned on to blow compressed air through the hydraulic line, presumably to clear out any accumulated moisture or debris. The action of blowing air through the line is visible.
Goal: Clear moisture and debris from the hydraulic line.
Tools and materials
- Heavy Equipment — The machinery whose hydraulic lines are being cleared
- Hydraulic Line Quick-Disconnect Fitting — The connection point for the air hose on the heavy equipment
- Orange Work Gloves — For grip and hand protection during the connection and inflation process
- White Covering — Possibly a protective cap or an absorbent material covering the hydraulic port
