Care must be taken when re-routing lines to avoid bending the hose around too sharp a corner – the
flexible hose used can crimp itself off if bent too sharply. If a sharp bend is unavoidable a spring may
be threaded over the line to prevent it crimping. Springs must be a snug fit on the hose & are
available from Jabiru Aircraft if required. Figure 169 refers.
Note that in some cases it may be necessary to shorten or lengthen lines to prevent “U’s” or tight
bends.
For installation, reverse removal procedure given above.
