NOTE: To reduce risk of uneven application, Raven recommends using equal length hose to all vapor knives,
placed at least 1 row apart.
BLEED LINE HOSE ROUTING
1. Apply PTFE thread sealant to all threaded joints.
2. Route the bleed valve to the front of the tool bar.
NOTE: When routing the bleed line hose avoid pinch points and sharp edges that may damage the hose.
3. Secure the bleed hose to the front of the toolbar. Verify it is an easy to access location that will not allow the
hose to pinch or be damaged.
