•
If either the Whip Hose (14) or the Hose

these two components by the following
procedure.
1. Refer to Figure 8-9. With the End Cap
secured to prevent rolling, loosen the
square head screws and nuts of the Hose
Coupling Clamp.
Do not remove the screws and
nuts from the clamp.
a. Use a 3/4-inch open-end wrench to
hold the square head nuts.
b. Use a 5/8-inch open-end wrench to
back the square head screws almost
out of the nuts.
2. Separate the two halves of the clamp as
shown in Figure 8-10-A.
3. It may be necessary to pry the two clamp
halves apart. Use a knife blade or a flat
blade screwdriver to separate the two
clamp halves as shown in Figure 8-10-A.
4. Once the clamp is loose, pull the hose
from the hose plug of the Hose Coupling
as shown in Figure 8-10-B.

to remove hose pieces that are stuck to
the coupling plug. Refer to Figure 8-11.
