The replacement hoses must fulfil the technical requirements set by the equipment
manufacturer.
WARNING! – Hydraulic hose lines are subject to ageing
Effect: Danger to life or serious injuries
The characteristics of the lines change depending on pressure, heat load and the effect of UV
rays.
The date of manufacture appears on the hydraulic hoses. This way the age can be ascertained
quickly.
By law the hydraulic lines must be replaced after six years.
Use original spare parts when replacing hydraulic hoses!
