Hydraulic Hose Maintenance
Hydraulic hoses and connections must
be inspected by a trained technician
before the first use of the machine, and at least annually
thereafter, for leaks and/or damage.
Leakages and damaged pressure hose/lines must be
immediately repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center.
Never use your hands to check for suspected hydraulic
leaks. Always use a piece of wood or cardboard.
Leaks from hydraulic hoses or pressurized components can
be difficult to see, but pressurized oil can have enough force
to pierce the skin and cause serious injury.
Obtain immediate medical attention if pressurized oil
pierces the skin. Failure to obtain prompt medical
assistance could result in gangrene or other serious
damage to tissue.
Always relieve hydraulic system pressure before performing
any maintenance on the machine. Do not tighten leaking
connections when the hydraulic system is under pressure.
Never weld or solder damaged or leaking pressure lines
and/or screw connections. Always replace damaged
hydraulic components.
Hydraulic hoses
must be replaced
every six years
from the date of
manufacture, even
if they do not
appear damaged.
The date of
manufacture
(month or quarter
and year) is
indicated on
hydraulic hoses.
See Figure 93.
