Hoses


Precautions For Hoses





Hose Removal and Installation
To prevent damage to rubber hose do not pry off rubber hose with tapered tool or screwdriver.





To reinstall the rubber hose securely make sure of hose insertion length and clamp orientation. (If tube is equipped with hose stopper insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose stopper.)






Hose Clamping
If old rubber hose is re-used install hose clamp in its original position (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose align rubber hose at that position.

Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.





After installing leaf spring clamps apply force to them in the direction of the arrow tightening rubber hose equally all around.
