WARNING:
Never operate the system with the pump case drain plugged. Damage to the pump
seals will result. To do so will void the system’s warranty.
Hose Installation Guidelines
Never install a hose without first properly cleaning it to remove debris and
contaminants. It is recommended to clear hoses of debris using a projectile hose
cleaning kit, and preferred to do so with a cleaning solvent to remove as much
contamination as possible.
To keep debris out of hoses while being positioned, cover the ends.
Never install a hose in a location where it will rub against an abrasive surface, sharp
edge or corner. Use hose wraps or guards where they make contact with surfaces
that may cause detrimental abrasion during flex.
Do not position hoses with tight bend radii. Tight bends may kink and cause
serious damage to the system. Consult the hose manufacturer’s guidelines when
installing hoses.
Use caution when tightening the hose ends to prevent the hose from becoming
twisted.
Never install a 90° fitting at the pump outlet or inlet.
Never use an inlet line fitting less than 1”.
Never install a hose tightly between connections. Leave length for the hoses to
expand.
Do not form loops in the hose that may collect air or cause kinking. Run hose as
straight as possible (but not taut) between connections.
Do not bundle installed hoses tightly together with banding. Hoses must have
freedom to expand and flex.
Do not operate the system with external stresses applied to the hydraulic hoses.
The A.C. modular hydraulic system generates hydraulic pressure approaching 3500
psi. A ruptured hose may result, causing personal injury or damage to the system.
Do not put any substance into the reservoir other than clean, fresh hydraulic fluid.
Doing so will void the sy
stem’s warranty.
