Hydraulic Hose and Fitting
Torque Specifications
Your machine is equipped with Parker Seal-Lok®
fittings and hose ends. Genie specifications require
that fittings and hose ends be torqued to
specification when they are removed and installed
or when new hoses or fittings are installed.
Seal-Lok® fittings
1 Replace the O-ring. The O-ring must be
replaced anytime the seal has been broken.
The O-ring cannot be re-used if the fitting or
hose end has been tightened beyond finger
tight.
The O-rings used in the Parker
Seal Lok® fittings and hose ends
are custom-size O-rings. They are
not standard SAE size O-rings.
They are available in the O-ring
field service kit (Genie part
number 49612).
2 Lubricate the O-ring before installation.
3 Be sure that the face seal O-ring is seated and
retained properly.
4 Position the tube and nut squarely on the face
seal end of the fitting and tighten the nut finger
tight.
5 Tighten the nut or fitting to the appropriate
torque per given size as shown in the table.
6 Operate all machine functions and inspect the
hoses and fittings and related components to
confirm that there are no leaks.
