HYDRAULIC HOSES
The condition of all hoses should be checked during routine servicing. Hoses that have
been chafed or damaged on their outer casing should be securely wrapped with
waterproof adhesive tape to prevent the metal braid from rusting. Hoses that have suffered
damage to the metal braid should be changed at the earliest opportunity.
Hose Replacement
Always replace one hose at a time to avoid the risk of wrong connections. It is always
advisable to run the new replacement hose alongside the old one prior to removal – this
will determine the correct hose path and avoid possible damage caused by incorrect hose
routing.
Where a hose is attached to an additional fitting or union, use a second spanner on the
union to avoid breaking both seals.
Never use jointing compound on threads.
Avoid twisting hoses and adjust the hose line to ensure freedom from rubbing or trapping
before tightening the hose end connections.
Hose Warranty
Warranty is limited to replacement of hoses that have failed due to faulty manufacture or
materials. Warranty will not be considered on hoses that have suffered damage by
abrasion, cuts or being pinched or trapped while in work. A claim will not be considered
where the hose end has been damaged by a blow or where the threads or unions have
been damaged by over tightening.
