GENERAL INFORMATION

03-16

'Oetiker' clips may be removed by bending the tag 
(arrowed) and releasing the free end of the clip. Clips 
must not be re-used. When fitting new clips, ensure 
the clip is correctly positioned on the hose before 
tightening and that when the clip is tightened, the tag 
is located in the longitudinal slot in the free end of the 
clip (arrowed in illustration).

Heat protection
Always ensure that heatshields and protective 
sheathing are in good condition. Replace if damage 
is evident.

Particular care must be taken when routing hoses 
close to hot engine components, such as the exhaust 
manifold and the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) 
pipe.

Hoses will relax and deflect slightly when hot; ensure 
this movement is taken into account when routing 
and securing hoses.

Service tools

General
Special service tools have been developed to 
facilitate removal, dismantling and assembly of 
mechanical components in a cost effective and time 
efficient  manner. The use of such special tools also 
helps prevent the potential for damage to 
components.

Some operations described in this Manual cannot be 
carried out properly without the aid of the relevant 
service tools.
