Check turbo elbow flange to ensure that all studs, and nuts are present,

and tight (view B).

Check turbo elbow for gasket between turbo elbow, and turbo housing.

Inspect gasket as much as possible looking for tears, folds, and missing

pieces using an inspection mirror, and flashlight where necessary.

Inspect connection of outlet hose to outlet elbow (view C). Check that

band clamp is installed. Inspect clamp for damage, or missing parts (i.e.,

bent, broken, or missing fingers, torn band, broken finger pivot mounts).

Replace defective hose or clamp. Refer to para. 3-6b.

Verify that all fingers engage outlet elbow flange (view D). Use inspec-

t i o n mirror and flashlight to view bottom fingers. Grasp each finger

f i n g e r indicates a loose clamp. Tighten clamp if loose. Attempt to

rotate flat band clamp, located on hose just behind finger band clamp.

Any movement indicates a loose clamp. Tighten clamp if loose.
