3. Contents of the modification

The shape of the clamps for the hoses of the air intake circuit for the engine (turbo-
charger - after-cooler - intake manifold) has been modified to improve their reliability and
durability against breakage.

Improvement of the hose clamp

Current parts High-torque type

By elimination of the
stepped section of the
clamp band, we could
Improved parts Constant-torque type increase the strength.

There is no place where

stress accumulation occurs.

4. Modification procedures

4-1) Replace the hose clamps indicated in Fig. 2 below with the improved clamps.

4-2) Although the hose clamping at the inlet port section and outlet port section (sections
marked in Fig. 2) of after-cooler is of a single-clamp structure, make them the
double-clamp structure at the opportunity of this modification. (Hose clamping of
other sections than the above are of the double-clamp structure presently.)

Clamp tightening torque: 9.8 Nm

(1.0 kgm)
Hose clamping should be of the
double-clamp structure at all the
clamping sections, and clamping
method should be such that the
worm sections of a pair of clamps are
offset by 180º from each other, as
shown in Fig. 1.
