Installation
Each hose assembly is 50 feet (15 m) long. A maxi-
mum combined length of 300 feet (92 m) can be used,
in addition to a 15 foot (4.6 m) whip hose assembly.
The whip hose assembly is smaller in diameter, which
makes maneuvering the hose easier for the operator.
The fluid hoses are marked ISO or RES and are
oppositely coupled to prevent incorrect connection,
which can cause fluid crossover and permanently
damage the hose. Refer to Fig. 1.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Strain on the heat tape wires can pull
them loose from the connectors when
the hose is moved or coiled. To reduce
the risk of an electric shock from loose or damaged
wires, follow these precautions.
D
Make the bend in the heat tape as instructed
below.
D
Do not wrap the heat tape around the hoses.
