Hose Replacement
Service Manual 11-23
5. Follow the procedure Nozzle Replacement on page 8-8 to remove the nozzle from
the end of the old hose and install it on the new hose. Note: Replacement of the
No Free-Hosing label on the nozzle does not apply in this case.
6. On the new hose, find the end of the reinforcing wire in the hose and trim around
the wire so that approximately 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) is free of the hose material.
7. Position the new hose on the duct adapter. Rotate the hose counter-clockwise
until the hose material reaches the flange and the exposed reinforcing wire is at
the hole in the flange.
8. At a point approximately 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) from its free end, bend the wire 90
degrees and insert it into the flange hole.
9. Bend the wire back toward the flange so that the hose is secured (Figure 11-20
on page 11-22).
10. Place the duct adapter back into the fan duct by inserting the top edge of the
adapter first, then rotating the adapter downward until it drops into place
(Figure 11-21).
