HOSES AND FITTINGS

Care must be exercised in the use of hose and fi ttings for use on hydraulic tools, especially in confi ned areas. Any obstruction or abrasive surrounding could damage the hose and cause a serious accident. Always use the recommended hose for the tool that is being used. Always consult the dealer or distributor for the correct hoses and purchase from him to ensure, from a safety standpoint that the materials used in the manufacture of the hoses is to the correct specifi cation for the application. Fittings must meet the standards established by the industry to adequately assure safety. Poor quality or low rated fi ttings are not to be used. They invite a serious accident.

Length: Hose must be the correct length for the general use of the tool or for the specifi c function it is to provide. Pressure surge is an important factor in the selection of hoses. The hose should be rated above the expected surge pressure to ensure adequate safety. Hoses that are too long will have a tendency to coil, kink, or move in multiple directions creating a safety hazard. Hoses that are too long will rub or chafe against the ground or projecting objects, seriously shortening the life of the hose. It may be advisable to carefully restrain a hose which is temporarily too long for the current application.

Pressure surge can cause whipping, and seriously damage the hose. Always keep the hose length as short as possible for the operation which is it intended.

Size: The hose must be large enough to carry the pressurized fl ow of fl uid to the end application without creating undue heat generation or excessive turbulence. These factors could cause excessive wear to the hose from any or all of the above reasons.

Pressure: Hose selection must be made so that the recommended maximum operating pressure is

greater than the system pressure. A surge or sudden drop in pressure will cause the hose to deteriorate faster if the maximum pressure of the hose is signifi cantly below the surge pressure. A hose with a top rate of pressure as the line pressure of the installation is not an accepted safety practice. Always err on the side of safety.

Temperature: Hose can be seriously damaged by passing over or near hot objects. Avoid any situation that will heat the hose. Serious damage and/or failure will occur.

Unusual Applications: Careful thought and research should precede installation of hoses. Thorough and protected testing, with appropriate safety guards, must be done to avoid injury before general use.

Connections: Hoses must have the proper end fi ttings in order to mate correctly with connectors.

Worn or damaged connectors and worn end fi ttings on the ends of the hose can cause a failure.

Pressure surge can cause a slow or sudden failure at the connection causing serious damage or injury.

Safety Check: Before using any installation, perform a thorough checkout to determine if any of the above or unforeseen problems occur. Initial testing with safety guards is an invaluable safety precaution.

Always consult the distributor or manufacturer for the correct specifi cations regarding any of the items discussed above. The correct hoses and fi tting are available from your supplier.

WARNING

There exists the potential for SHOCK in using anything other than certifi ed non-conductive hoses and hydraulic oil with dielectric properties when using system components near ENERGIZIZED ELECTRICAL LINES.

Failure to recognize these conditions could cause ELECTROCUTION.

Hoses and fittings used with this tool must comply with S.A.E. J1273 recommended practice for selection, installation, and maintenance of hose assemblies.

WARNING

UNIT/HOSE CONNECTIONS

ALWAYS SHUT OFF pump/power source and move fl ow selector to OFF before connecting or disconnecting system components.

ALWAYS DEPRESSURIZE hydraulic system before slowly disconnecting this unit or any of the systems components.

ALWAYS TIGHTEN couplings completely. Loose or improperly tightened couplings will not allow fluid to pass through the hose creating a blockage in the supply or return line.

ALWAYS INSPECT HOSES AND CONNECTORS before connection to tool. Replace or repair if any leakage is evident. Leakage is a sign of deterioration in component parts. Worn or leaking parts must be repaired or replaced, or tool damage or severe injury could result.

CAUTION

HOSE INSTALLATION

Care must be taken to assure the correct connection of the hoses to the pressure “P” and return “T” ports.

Connect the return hose to the return port on the power source, then to the return “T” port on the tool.

Connect the pressure hose to the pressure port “P” on the tool, then to the pressure port on the power source.

Operation with hydraulic flow reversed can cause malfunction.

Failure to fully comply can result in tool damage, injury, or death.

WARNING

HOSES AND FITTINGS

There exists the potential for shock in using anything other than certifi ed nonconductive hoses and hydraulic oil with dielectric properties, when using system components near energized electrical lines. Failure to recognize these conditions could cause electrocution.
