10.8 Check/replace hose lines
Overview of hose lines of machine:
■ Fuel lines of the drive engine
■ Pressure hoses of the drive engine
■ Pressure hoses of the compressor
The hose line are subject to natural ageing regardless of proper storage or permitted utilisa‐
tion during machine operation. This ageing changes the material and compound properties
and reduces the performance capability of the hose lines. As a result the period of use for
hose lines is limited.
The operator must ensure that all hose lines are checked at reasonable intervals and are re‐
placed if required, see maintenance schedule 10.2.3.1
➤ Comply with all instructions!
10.8.1 Replace the fuel lines of the drive engine.
➤ Have a KAESER SERVICE technician replace the fuel lines of the drive engine.
