Tip for leak free connections:
• Insert hose against stop on pump.
• Position clamp against front lip of drain hose.
• Tighten clamp to at least 15 inch-pounds of torque.
Tip for quiet drain pump operation:
Position hose clamp with clamp screw on the bottom side of
the hose. This will prevent the clamp from coming in contact
with the rear brace. Clamp contact with the rear brace could
create noise when the drain pump is running.
