HYDRAULICS
Hydraulic hoses, pipes and couplings should be checked from time to time to find
possible fractures or leaks. Replace worn or broken parts with new ones to avoid
damage. The return and pressure hose type is 1/2" SAE 100 R2SC, and the pressure.
Always observe maximum cleanliness while servicing hydraulic components, and clean
the inside of hoses from dust, rubber particles, etc., before installation.
CHANGING HYDRAULIC HOSES
Proper installation prolongs the life of hydraulic hoses considerably. Observe the
following instructions while changing hydraulic hoses.
•
Check the pressure indications of the hose to be installed.
•
Clean the hoses from dirt, both inside and outside.
•
Check that the hose follows the proper route, and after installation check that the
hose is able to move freely in all hydraulic motions.
•
Check that the hose is not twisted. A twisted hose has a much shorter life than one
that is properly installed.
•
After installation check that the hose couplings do not leak.
