7.13.2 Checking the hydraulic hoses
Hydraulic hoses are also subject to ageing as well as internal and external
strain.
• Check the hydraulic hoses for
– external damage (tears, abrasion, heat damage, chemical damage),
– leaks and moist areas,
– blistering or unevenness of hose casing,
– signs of ageing (porous surface, rust on hose fittings).
Hydraulic hoses should not be used for longer
than 7
2 months from date of manufacture.
The date of manufacture and the

operating pressure are marked on the hose
fitting:
• Always ensure that the corresponding parts of the hydraulic system are
depressurised.
• Damaged or old hydraulic hoses must be replaced immediately.
