(ASM-C-0004hydro resrv)
INSTALLING O-RING FITTINGS
Installing straight, 45º and 90º O-rings requires that the O-ring and washer be up against the
swivel body. Insert the swivel and turn in until the swivel is pointed in the desired direction and O-
ring contact is made. Hold swivel in set direction with a wrench and turn the O-ring nut away
from the swivel body and carefully tighten.
(ASM-C-0056)
INSTALLING NATIONAL PIPE FITTINGS
Whenever installing a pipe fitting, wrap the threads clockwise (looking at the end) with teflon
tape. In this way, the tape will be tightened when installed. NOTE: It is not necessary to tape O-
ring fittings, or those installed in swivels.
(ASM-C-0088)
PREFORMED TUBE INSTALLATION
Lay booms on floor so that the side with the clamp plates is up. Locate all tube clamps and
install them loosely onto the clamp plates.
Arrange the tubes and hoses as outlined in the Common Parts Section. Install the tubes
closest to the boom arm first, being careful not to pinch the tubes. Place the other tubes outside
of the first tubes. Snug all clamp bolts, but do not tighten. Check all tubes for correct alignment
and that none are pinched or bent. The clamp bolts can now be tightened.

GENERAL HOSE INSTALLATION
Refer to the Parts Section for detailed information about hoses and fittings for this
application.

HOSE COVERING
Secure hoses together with zip ties wherever loose. Wrap the hoses between the swivel and
main boom with the hose cover provided. Wrap the hoses between the main boom and
secondary boom with the hose cover provided. Where hoses may contact the frame or other
edges, wrap with split hose and secure with hose clamps or zip ties.
On non-cab units, the pressure and return hoses from the control valve will also need to be
routed inside the protective hose wrap. Cover the valve and valve fittings with the hose cover
and secure with the string provided.
(ASM-C-0058)
ACCUMULATOR INSTALLATION
Install the accumulator bracket on the right mainframe mast or lift valve mount, if applicable,
with the capscrews, lockwashers and spacers, if applicable, as shown in the Parts Section.
Install the accumulator in the bracket and secure with the hardware shown. Install fittings and
hoses to the cylinder and control valve as shown in the Parts Section.
Use teflon tape on all
pipe fittings (except O-rings).
