BOOM HOSE MAINTENANCE AND CARE:
1.
Excessive end pull or twisting can damage or weaken end construction.
2.
Never drag large hoses. Dollies or a sling should be used during transfer.
3.
Inspect hose regularly. Alight tap of a hammer will detect weak or soft areas
badly worn from the inside.
4.
Rotation of the hose distributes wear and maximizes service life. Different
coloured axial paint strips at 90° or 180° near the hose ends will assist mainte
-
nance crew.
Note:
The space of time elapsing between each rotation of the hose varies
individually between different applications, depending on such factors
as the type of material, flow rate, quantity of material handeled, etc.
By measuring the wear in the hose on a number of occassions at
identical intervaks, wear intensity can be determined and suitable
times for rotation can be planned.
