3.13 Routing air hoses
The air hose can be extended by turning the Bowden cores into each
other. There should be approx. 30cm overlap. The total length of hoses
on the air inlet and outlet side must not exceed 8 m.
Never incorporate more than four 90° bends. The radius of the bends
must be at least 600 mm wide (relative to the middle of the hose).
» Cut to size using a sharp knife. The Bowden core can be cut with wire
cutters.
» Secure the air hose at approx. 1 m intervals. This prevents the hose
sagging because of its flexibility.
» Match the air hose ends to the shape of the oval connectors at the
hood and the hose connection plates. The hose connection plates are
available as accessories.

Risk of damage
Always cover the external apertures with wire grilles, and
