Preparing the Short Hydraulic Hoses
Your QuickJack comes with two Short Hydraulic Hoses (P/N 5570233):
•
Female end
. Attach directly to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder.
You do not
need to add a fitting to this end of the Short Hydraulic Hose.
• Male end . Install a male Quick-Connect Fitting to the male end.
To set up and connect the Short Hydraulic Hoses :
1. Locate both Short Hydraulic Hoses and remove their protective caps.
2. Prepare the threaded fitting on the male end of each Short Hydraulic Hose with Liquid Thread
Sealant.
Only one end of a Short Hydraulic Hose has a male threaded fitting; the other end has a female
fitting that attaches directly to the Hydraulic Elbow Fitting on the Hydraulic Cylinder.
3. Attach one male Quick-Connect Fitting (P/N 5550032) from the QuickJack Parts Bag to the male
threaded fitting end of the Short Hydraulic Hose; tighten to 23 to 25 lbf-ft / 31 to 34 N-m.
To tighten, use one wrench to hold the Male threaded end in place and a second wrench on the
Male Quick-Connect Fitting.
Do the same for the other Short Hydraulic Hose.
4. Connect the female end of the Short Hydraulic Hose to the male connector on the Hydraulic Elbow
Fitting; tighten to 23 to 25 lbf-ft / 31 to 34 N-m.
The Hydraulic Elbow Fitting should already be installed on the Hydraulic Cylinder.
5. Route both Short Hydraulic Hoses
under
the Frame ends; keep them clear of pinch points.
