CORRECT: first ring is over the flange of the stem WRONG: first ring is NOT over the
flange of the stem
6.6 Fit two new Ty-wraps onto convoluted hose
- Use a cable tie tension gun to fit two new Ty-wraps onto the convoluted hose.
- Set the cable tie tension gun to a strength level that matches a cable tie of 4.7 mm width.
This typically amounts to a tension strength of 11 kilos.
o For the suggested Rapid HT-218 cable tie tension gun this results in an
adjuster setting of 3.
- WARNING: ONLY use the special AP cable ties with a rounded cable tie end (part
number RBCT1) to ensure there is a guaranteed complete circumferential compression
around the convoluted hose.
- Make sure the clasps of the two newly fitted Ty-wraps are at a 180 degree angle of each
other, in the first and second rung of the convoluted hose.
