Clamp Installation
A constant stress should be applied to close the
ear clamps. This method ensures a positive stress
on the hose and does not result in excessive com-
pression or expansion of the band material.
IMPORTANT: Use only Oetiker recommended
tools to close Oetiker stepless clamps.
Oetiker pincers are available in the
Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts and Accesso-
ries Catalog (P/N 787145).
• Position correct size clamp over hose.
• Install hose on fitting.
• Close clamp ear fully with Oetiker pincers (pli-
ers).
Clamp Removal
Method 1: Position Oetiker pincers across clamp
ear and cut clamp.
Method 2: Lift end of stepless clamp with screw-
driver.
Method 3: Use Oetiker pincers (pliers) to grip
clamp. Pull clamp off of connection and discard.
