Oetiker Clamp Servicing

WARNING
DO NOT re-use Oetiker clamps. Fuel leakage
could contribute to a fire or explosion.
See the Oetiker Clamp Chart on p. 54.
Clamp Identification
Use Oetiker clamps for making hose connections.
These clamps provide corrosion resistance, mini-
mize the potential for abrasion of rigging compo-
nents, and provide solid, permanent connections.
The selection and installation of an Oetiker clamp
is essential in the proper sealing of hose connec-
tions.
The clamp identification numbers appear on the
side of the clamp, near the top of the ear. Refer to
Oetiker Clamp Chart on p. 54 chart for clamp
dimensions.

Clamp Selection
To select the correct size Oetiker clamp, measure
the outside diameter of the hose when installed on
the fitting.
Chose a clamp so that the outside diameter of the
hose is approximately in the middle of the clamp-
ing range of the clamp.
Refer to Oetiker Clamp Chart on p. 54.

Clamp Installation
A constant stress should be applied to close the
ear clamps. This method ensures a positive stress
on the hose and does not result in excessive com-
pression or expansion of the band material.
IMPORTANT:
tools to close Oetiker stepless clamps.
Oetiker pincers, P/N 787145, are available in the
Evinrude Genuine Parts and Accessories Catalog.
