3.
Remove the hose cover to the wire, using care not to
burn, fray or damage reinforcement wires. The cover of
wire-braided hoses can be removed with a buffing wheel
or a hand skiver. A manual, external skiving tool that uses
a knife must be used with spiral hose. Mark the length
of the cover to be removed, as noted in the Continental
ContiTech Crimp Specifications Manual, and set skiving
depth on the manual skiving tool. Make sure the manual
skiver is rotated in the counterclockwise direction for
external skiving. Follow specific instructions on external
skiving that would accompany the manual skiver.
5.
Check for the proper skive length.
6.
Hoses should be checked for 100% of cover removal.
If necessary, rebuff skived area to clean and remove
hose cover.
7.
A manual, internal skiving tool that uses a knife is to
be used to remove the tube material of spiral hose
for installation of the Dual-Grip™ fittings. Note the
correct length of tube material to be removed from the
Continental ContiTech Crimp Specification Manual. Set
the desired skiving depth on the internal skiving tool.
Make sure the tool rotates in the clockwise direction for
internal skiving. Verify that the correct length of tube
material has been removed. Follow specific instructions
on internal skiving that would accompany the
manual skiver.
8.
It is important to clean hose ID by brushing, blowing
compressed air or flushing to remove any contaminants.
Warning: Failure to completely remove the cover may
result in serious personal injury or property damage due
to hose ends blowing off, leakage or other failures.
4.
With the hose cover removed, check that the wire braid
or spiral reinforcement has not been displaced, damaged
or cut in the skiving process.
