has been stamped on each clamp (Fig. 8). Refer to
Hose Clamp Usage Chart for proper size and location
of hose clamps.
OPERATION
The worm type hose clamp uses a specified torque
value to maintain proper tension on a hose connection.
The spring type hose clamp applies constant ten-
sion on a hose connection. To remove a spring type
hose clamp, use Special Tool 6094 or equivalent, con-
stant tension clamp pliers (Fig. 9) to compress the
hose clamp.
COOLANT BOTTLE
DESCRIPTION
The coolant bottle consists of a pressure chamber and
a overflow chamber (Fig. 10) that is mounted in the
engine compartment (Fig. 11). The overflow hose con-
nects the pressure chamber to the overflow chamber.
NOTE: Coolant will normally be in the pressure
chamber side of the coolant bottle. The overflow
chamber should normally be empty
OPERATION
The pressure chamber keeps the coolant free of
trapped air, provides a volume for expansion and con-
traction, and provides a convenient and safe method
for checking and adjusting coolant level at atmo-
spheric pressure. It also provides some reserve cool-
ant to cover minor leaks, evaporation or boiling
losses. The overflow chamber allows coolant recovery
in case of an overheat.
