Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses
1. Make the machine safe.
Refer to: Maintenance Positions (Page 116).
2. Vent the hydraulic system.
Refer to: Discharge (Page 138).
3. Check the hoses and adaptors for damage.
Refer to: Check (Condition) (Page 139).
4. Connect the hoses:
4.1. Make sure that the hose is not twisted. Pressure applied to a twisted hose can cause the hose to fail
or the connections to loosen.
Figure 66.
4.2. Make sure that the hose does not touch hot parts. High ambient temperatures can cause the hose
to fail.
4.3. Make sure that the hose does not touch parts which can rub or cause abrasion.
4.4. Use the hose clamps (where possible) to support long hose runs and keep the hoses away from
moving parts, etc.
Figure 67.
4.5. To allow for length changes when the hose is pressurised, do not clamp at the bend. The curve absorbs
the change.
