Subaru Outback. Precaution

Subaru Outback. Precaution

  1. Push against the spool. (Insert the hose and prevent it from becoming wrinkled.)
  2. Tighten the hose outwards and apply force thoroughly.
  • Check if the position, direction and hose layout of the hose clamp are correct. (Check if the position, direction, length and the gap around are correct, or if it is different from the condition before the work)
  • After the installation, check that the hose is installed securely and there is no leakage. (Check if it is fixed securely with the clamp)
  • Check for deformation, rust, damage or foreign matters.
  • For hose clip, check if it works and has clamping force.
  • For hose clamp, check if it can tighten screw, not ovalized or the screw is not damaged.
  • Check if the pipe is not damaged, rusted, peeled (peeled plates included), covered with foreign matter, bent, compressed or cracked.
