Section I
Introduction
1. Purpose
This manual provides specific instructions for
maintenance and overhaul of Eaton’s Aeroquip hose
assemblies made of high-pressure tetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) hose. Eaton’s Jackson, Michigan facility
manufactures Aeroquip products (Federal Code
Number 00624). The manual is divided into three
areas of maintenance to enable each maintenance
group to complete its service within a sequence
of sections. The first area, following “Introduction”
and “Identification” which are common to all levels,
contains the maintenance and overhaul procedures for
hose assemblies removed from service (Sections III
through VIII). The second area provides maintenance
and replacement instructions for hose assemblies which
are in service (Sections IX through X). The last area of
the manual is devoted specifically to inspection, storage
and disposition of hose assemblies (Sections XI through
XIV).
2. Scope
Hose assemblies fabricated in accordance with this
manual will conform to the requirements listed in
Specification MIL-H-38360 and are suitable for use in
high temperature, 3,000 psi hydraulic and pneumatic
systems. Use in other systems is permissible where
pressure and fluid are compatible with the requirements
of the specifications and as further specified in
paragraph 6.1 of MIL-H-38360 or when specifically
approved by Eaton.
3. Description
