11.3.2 Install The Hose Coupling
Install a new or used Hose Coupling with
Clamp (17) onto the Whip Hose (14) by the
following procedure.
~
WARNING
Bodily injury could result from im-
proper handling of heavy compo-
nents. The assembled Hole Hog is
heavy. Proper lifting precautions
must be taken when handling the
Hole Hog.
1. Place the Hose Coupling with Clamp
(17) and the Hole-Hog on the work
area tarp. Block the Hole-Hog so it will
not accidentally roll off the work sur-
face. Leave the Whip Hose (14) easily
accessible as shown in Figure 11-5.
2. Inspect the new or used Hose Coupling
with Clamp (16) for damage and for
dirt that would damage the internal
components of the Hole Hog.
a. Refer to Figure 11-6, and verify that
all four sets of screws and nuts are as-
sembled on the Coupling’s hose
clamp. Inspect the threads for wear or
damage. Replace missing or damaged
nuts and screws, or obtain a new Hose
Coupling with Clamp (17).
b. If the Hose Coupling was previously
used, inspect the plug inside the
clamp portion of the Hose Coupling.
Remove pieces of the old hose not re-
moved during disassembly.
c. Use a needle-nose pliers or wooden
stick to remove hose pieces that are
stuck to the coupling plug. Refer to
Figure 11-7.
DO NOT damage the coupling
plug.
