WARNING
Bodily injury could result from im-
proper handling of heavy compo-
nents. The assembled Hole Hog is
very heavy. Proper lifting precau-
tions must be taken when handling
the Hole Hog.
1. Place the Hole-Hog on the work area
tarp. Block it so the Hole-Hog will not
accidentally roll off the work surface.
Leave the Whip Hose (14) and Hose Cou-
pling (17) easily accessible, as shown in
Figure 11-2.
2. Refer to Figure 11-3. Loosen the square
head screws and nuts of the Hose Cou-
pling 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.
3. Separate the two halves of the clamp as
shown in Figure 11-4.
4. 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 11-4-A.
5. Once the clamp is loose, pull the hose
from the hose plug of the Hose Coupling
as shown in Figure 11-4-B.
