for leaks.
4. Connect exhaust system tubes and hoses using at least two hose clamps at each con-
nection.
CAUTION
Avoid exhaust hose failure. Discharge water from exhaust elbow must flow around
entire inside diameter of hose to avoid causing hot spots which could eventually
result in burned-through exhaust hoses. Exhaust hoses and/or tubes must be cor-
rectly connected to exhaust elbows so that they do not restrict the flow of discharge
water from exhaust elbow.
