Tensioning Clamp on Small Diameter
– Attach Clamping Pliers - VAG1682A- as shown in illustration.
When doing this, make sure that edges of clamping pliers are
seated in corners -arrows B- of clamp.
– Tension clamp by turning spindle using a torque wrench -C-
(do not tilt clamp tool).
Note
♦
Due to he hard material of the joint boot (compared to rubber)
makes it necessary to use a stainless steel hose clamp, it is
only possible to tighten the hose clamp using Clamping Pliers
- VAG1682A- .
♦
Tightening specification: 25 Nm.
♦
Use torque wrench with adjustment range 5...50 Nm (e.g. Tor‐
que Wrench 1331 5-50Nm - VAG1331- ).
♦
Be sure clamp tool spindle thread -A- moves freely. Grease
with MoS
2
grease if necessary.
♦
If the thread is tight e.g. dirty, the required tensioning force for
the hose clamp will not be achieved in spite of correct torque
specification settings.
