Vacuum hoses
The vacuum hoses transport the partial vacuum to the pressure converters/changeover valves and to the actuators. Leak-tightness and no blockage of the vacuum hoses are decisive for the function of the system.
The vacuum hoses must be checked for the following faults:
- Kinks
If the vacuum hoses are routed in radii that are too tight or over edges, kinks can occur.
- Squashed vacuum hoses
The vacuum hoses can be squashed by contacting components (for example acoustic cover).
- Cracks
Especially at the ends of the vacuum hoses, cracks can arise that lead to leaks.
NOTE: Cracks can be covered by the hose fabric!Cracked hose.
