Cleaning, maintenance and repair
•
Life span of 6 years has been exceeded.
The date of manufacture of the hydraulic hose line on the as-
sembly is decisive for determining these six years. If the date of
manufacture on the assembly is "2004", then the hose should
not be used beyond February 2010. See also "Labelling of hy-
draulic hose lines".
Common causes for leaking hoses / pipes and connection pieces
include:
•
missing O-rings or seals
•
damaged or badly fitting O-rings
•
brittle or deformed O-rings or seals
•
foreign bodies
•
badly fitting hose clips
12.11.4 Installation and removal of hydraulic hose lines
Use
•
only genuine
AMAZONE
replacement hoses. These hoses
stand up to chemical, mechanical and thermal loads.
•
hose clips made from V2A for fitting hoses, as a rule.
When installing and removing hydraulic hose lines, always observe
the following information:
•
Ensure cleanliness.
•
Always install the hydraulic hose lines to ensure the following in
all operating positions
ο
There is no tension, apart from the hose's own weight.
ο
There is no possibility of jolting on short lengths.
ο
External mechanical influences on the hydraulic hose lines
are avoided.
Use appropriate arrangements and fixing to prevent any
scouring of the hoses on components or on each other. If
necessary, secure hydraulic hose lines using protective co-
vers. Cover sharp-edged components.
ο
The approved bending radii may not be exceeded.
•
When connecting a hydraulic hose line to moving parts, the hose
length must be appropriate so that the smallest approved bend-
ing radius is not undershot over the whole area of movement
and/or the hydraulic hose line is not overtensioned.
•
Fix the hydraulic hose lines at the specified fixing points. There,
avoid hose clips, which impair the natural movement and length
changes of the hose.
•
The coating of hydraulic hose lines is not permitted.
