Troubleshooting

Clamp does not close properly

Ensure you are using the correct type and size of pliers. Verify the clamp is correctly positioned on the boot and not obstructed. Check if the clamp is damaged or defective.

Leakage after clamp installation

Re-check the clamp's position and ensure it is evenly closed. The boot itself may be damaged or improperly seated. Consider if the clamp size is correct for the boot diameter.

Difficulty fitting the clamp

Confirm you are using the recommended Laser fitting tools. Ensure the boot cuff is clean and free of debris that might impede clamp placement.
