Inlet and Outlet Elbow Torquing Sequence

TB 9-2300-378-14

General.

Field reports indicate that finger band clamp tips and fingers have a tendency to bend.

This creates a loose fitting between the elbow and hose and allows dirt and dust to

enter the engine. Late model replacement clamps are available that have been proven

to provide a better seal between the elbow and hose.

Description.

Two type of quick release clamps are being used.

(1) V-band clamps can be used at either end of the outlet.

(2) Quick-release V-band clamp can only be used with the improved hose at the air

cleaner outlet elbow.
