OPERATION
The worm type hose clamp uses a specified torque
value to maintain proper tension on a hose connection.
The spring type hose clamp applies constant ten-
sion on a hose connection. To remove a spring type
hose clamp, use Special Tool 6094 or equivalent, con-
stant tension clamp pliers (Fig. 9) to compress the
hose clamp.

COOLANT BOTTLE

DESCRIPTION
The coolant bottle consists of a pressure chamber and
a overflow chamber (Fig. 10) that is mounted in the
engine compartment (Fig. 11). The overflow hose con-
nects the pressure chamber to the overflow chamber.

OPERATION
The pressure chamber keeps the coolant free of
trapped air, provides a volume for expansion and con-
traction, and provides a convenient and safe method
for checking and adjusting coolant level at atmo-
spheric pressure. It also provides some reserve cool-
ant to cover minor leaks, evaporation or boiling
losses. The overflow chamber allows coolant recovery
in case of an overheat.
