A new repair concept has been developed for repairing washer system hoses. Various individual hose connectors, adapters, Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene (EPDM) rubber hoses and shrink tubing will be offered as replacement parts.
Area to be repaired must not be under stress of stretching or bending.
If the damaged area is longer than 20 mm, a new section of corrugated hose must be inserted and the procedure described in the following must be performed twice.
-- Trim and remove damaged sections of hose.
-- Select the appropriate connecting pieces -2 and 3- as well as the corresponding heat-shrinkable tube according to the Parts Information.
-- Carefully warm end of hose -1-.
-- Insert the connecting piece -2- into the corrugated tube -2- in direction of -arrow A-.
-- Carefully warm the end of the corrugated tube -4-.
-- Insert the connecting piece -3- into the corrugated tube -4- in direction of -arrow B-.
-- Trim the heat-shrinkable tube so that the corrugated tube is covered with a minimum of 20 mm dimension -x- of heat-shrinkable tube on both sides.
-- Slide the heat-shrinkable tube over the corrugated tube, attach the connecting pieces together and secure the repaired section with heat-shrinkable tubing.
