22) Secure hose with clamps. Start with the tab
connection in the column extension. Remove
slack in the hose and tighten the clamp. (Each
hose clamp requires one 3/8”-16NC x 3/4” lg.
hex flange bolt and one hex flange nut). Install a
clamp at the end of the overhead beam to hold a
smooth radius in the hose. Route hose across
overhead while continuing to avoid the cables.
23) Uncoil Power Side hose, loosely attach it to the
Idler Side hose using the Tee fitting (
in hardware
box
), remove slack, and secure with clamp at the
Column Extension Tab similar to Idler Side,
Fig
12.

24) Loosely Connect Power Unit hose to the Tee
and install a hose clamp and a steel line clamp
on the outside of the power column extension as
shown in
Fig 13
. (Use 1/4”-20NC x 3/4” lg. hex
flange bolt and hex flange nut for steel line
clamp.)

25) Ensure that the Idler Side hose is not twisted and
is laying flat in the overhead channel.
(Serpentine any extra length in the overhead and
rotate the end of the hose at the Tee by hand
back and forth. When the hose is in the correct
position, it will lay flat against the bottom of the
overhead channel.)
26) Tighten the three hose fitting connections at the
Tee taking care not to twist or change the lay of
any hose. Install and tighten a hose clamp near
the Tee at the end of the overhead beam,
Fig.
12
.
27) Connect the bottom end of the power unit hose
to the elbow fitting installed on the power unit
(again taking care not to twist the hose),
Fig. 10
.
28) Each column hose should connect to its cylinder
with a 90 degree elbow rotated 25 degrees up
from horizontal and be routed thru the hose
guide as shown in
Fig. 14.
