HOSE TYPES
The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the hy-
draulic system. There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use with
Stanley Hydraulic Tools. They are:
Certified non-conductive
— constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fiber braid
reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
Hose labeled
certified non-
conductive
is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.
Wire-braided
(conductive) — constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid reinforce-
ment, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover.
This hose is
conductive
and must never be used near
electrical conductors.
Fabric-braided
(not certified or labeled non-conductive) — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber in-
ner tube, synthetic fiber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
This
hose is
not certified non-conductive
and must never be used near electrical conductors.
HOSE SAFETY TAGS
To help ensure your safety, the following DANGER tags are attached to all hose purchased from Stanley Hydraulic
tools. DO NOT REMOVE THESE TAGS.
If the information on a tag is illegible because of wear or damage, replace the tag immediately. A new tag may be
obtained from your Stanley Distributor.

FAILURE TO USE HYDRAULIC HOSE LABELED AND CERTIFIED AS NON-CONDUCTIVE
WHEN USING HYDRAULIC TOOLS ON OR NEAR ELECTRIC LINES MAY RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN PROP-
ERLY TRAINED IN CORRECT PROCEDURES REQUIRED FOR WORK ON OR AROUND
ELECTRIC LINES.
2.
BEFORE USING HYDRAULIC HOSE LABELED AND CERTIFIED AS NON-CONDUCTIVE
ON OR NEAR ELECTRIC LINES. WIPE THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE HOSE AND FIT-
TING WITH A CLEAN DRY ABSORBENT CLOTH TO REMOVE DIRT AND MOISTURE AND
TEST HOSE FOR MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE CURRENT LEAKAGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SAFETY DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTIONS.

DO NOT
EXCEED HOSE WORKING PRESSURE OR ABUSE HOSE. IMPROPER USE
OR HANDLING OF HOSE COULD RESULT IN BURST OR OTHER HOSE FAILURE.
KEEP HOSE AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE FROM BODY AND
DO NOT
PERMIT DIRECT
CONTACT DURING USE. CONTACT AT THE BURST CAN CAUSE BODILY INJECTION
AND SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
4.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSE CAREFULLY TO AVOID KINKING, ABRASION, CUTTING, OR
CONTACT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE SURFACES.
DO NOT
USE IF KINKED.
DO NOT
USE HOSE TO PULL OR LIFT TOOLS, POWER UNITS, ETC.
5.
CHECK ENTIRE HOSE FOR CUTS CRACKS LEAKS ABRASIONS, BULGES, OR DAM-
