ASLE H-150, or ISO 32 are all acceptable types of

High Pressure Hose
– This is the only hose with steel connectors crimped
on both ends.
– One end connects to the Control Valve (sealed with
teflon tape).
– Other end connects to the top of the Pump (sealed
by O-Ring).
– Because of the male/female ends, this hose only fits
the correct way.
Suction Hose
– This is the clear hose that connects the hydraulic
tank to the pump inlet.
– Both ends of the hose are secured with hose clamps
Oil Return Hose
– This hose returns the oil exiting the cylinder to the
tank.
– It has no connectors crimped onto it.
– The hose ends push over barbed fittings on the
control valve and the oil filter.
– Both ends are secured with hose clamps.
– Notice how the hose is placed through the retainer
ring on the beam. This holds the hose close to the
frame so it does not flop out beyond the wheels (and
catch on things while towing).
