Installation Notes

Retaining ring pliers should be used by qualified service technicians familiar with snap ring safety procedures. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any component secured by a retaining ring. Wear eye protection when compressing or expanding snap rings, as rings can release unexpectedly under tension. Confirm the tip size is compatible with the ring groove before applying force.
