5.1 Handling of hoses
- never exceed the permissible working pressure as stated on hose and/or literature
- avoid any tension (see fi gure 1) and do not hang any load onto the hose
- never exceed the minimum bend radius as resulting kink will cause failure of hose
(see fi gure 2)
- do not allow hose to contact sharp edges or rough objects (see fi gure 3)
- avoid any twisting of hose (see fi gure 4)
- do not run over hose with any vehicle or equipment ! Hoses which are put on the
surface of sidewalk or street have to be suitably protected (see fi gure 5)
- do not allow hose to contact areas of high temperature such as muffl ers, exhaust
manifold, heaters or burners. Protect the hose as shown in fi gure 6 or install it in
suffi cient distance from the source of heat.
- never interline hose with that of a different manufacturer.
5.2 Protection of the working area in case of breakdown of hoses
Hoses have to be installed or protected in such a way that dangers are prevented, if
possible, in case of breakdown of the hoses.
Danger can be caused by:
- Uncontrolled hose movement after a hose rupture caused e.g. by external infl u-
ence.
- Emerging of the pressure medium under pressure.
- Infl ammation of pressure medium near igniting sources.
