STEP 9
(Hydraulic Hose Routing)
For a Multiple Unit installation -
1. See Fig 9.3.
For a Single Unit installation -
1. Route the hydraulic hose from the bottom of the cylin-
der with the electrical cord. These are routed up the Power
Post and secured with tie-wraps. (See Fig 9.1)
2. Join the top hydraulic hose with the routing of the
bottom hose and electrical cord near the top of the cylin-
der.
3. The tie-wraps securing the hoses and electrical cord
alternate between being attached to holes in the post and
simply securing them to each other. (See Fig 9.2)
4. At the power unit, the fittings must be angled to allow
the hoses to route correctly toward the power post.
