CAUTION
AVOID DAMAGING HYDRAULIC HOSE.
–
Avoid sharp bends and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses.
Using a bent or kinked hose will cause severe back-pressure.
Also, sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the hose
leading to premature failure.
– Do not drop heavy objects on hose. A sharp impact may
cause internal damage to hose wire strands. Applying
pressure to a damaged hose may cause it to rupture.
– Do not use the hydraulic hose to carry a hydraulic component
(i.e. pumps, cylinders and valves).
CAUTION
KEEP HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT AWAY FROM
FLAMES AND HEAT.
Excessive heat will soften packings and seals, resulting in
fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose materials and packings.
For optimum performance DO NOT expose equipment to
temperatures of 150
o
F (65
o
C) or higher. Protect hoses and
cylinders from weld spatter.
