Hydraulic Hoses
1. Hydraulic hoses should be left in carton until needed.
2. Store hoses at a temperature between 50º to 75ºF [10º to
24ºC] and at a humidity between 20 and 70 percent.
3. Never store hoses in a hot, damp room, in direct sunlight or
near heat sources.
4. Do not stack hoses. The weight of the pile will tend to
fl atten the hose on the bottom. Hanging hoses on a rack is
preferred.
5. Do not carry or drag hydraulic assemblies by pulling or
pushing on couplings or hoses.
Fittings and Couplers
1. All couplers, either male or female, must be kept clean.
Cover couplers with dust caps or plugs when not connected
to system. Do not remove caps or plugs until component is
ready to be used.
2. Keep dust caps on couplers when not in use. Make certain
that all unused couplers are sealed with dust caps/thread
protectors.
3. Be sure all hose connections are free of grit and grime.
4. Male couplers should not be pressurized while
disconnected.
