HYDRAULIC SYSTEM RT880E SERVICE MANUAL

• Exposed reinforcement
• Kinked, crushed, flattened, or twisted hose
• Hard, stiff, heat cracked, or charred hose
• Blistered, soft, degraded, or loose cover
• Cracked, damaged, or badly corroded fittings
• Fitting slippage on hose
• Other signs of significant deterioration
If any of the above conditions exist, evaluate hose
assemblies for correction or replacement. For replacement
of hose assemblies, refer to your Manitowoc Crane Care
Parts Manual.
At the same service interval, visually inspect all other
hydraulic components and valves for the following:
• Leaking ports
• Leaking valve sections or manifolds and valves installed
into cylinders or onto motors.
• Damaged or missing hose clamps, guard, or shields.
• Excessive dirt and debris around the hose assemblies.
If any of these conditions exist, address them appropriately.
All hydraulic hose assemblies are recommended to be
replaced after 8000 hours of service life. Working conditions,
ambient temperatures and high duty circuits can affect
service life of hose assemblies and must be taken into
account when inspecting and replacing hoses. High duty
circuits can include, but are not limited to, outriggers,
hoist(s), boom lift, swing, pump suction and discharge to
directional valves and directional valve return to the
reservoir.
Hydraulic hose assemblies operating in a temperature
climate zone “C” (Table 2-1) are recommended to be
replaced after 8000 hours of service life.
Hydraulic hose assemblies operating in climate zones “A”
and “B” (Table 2-1) with high ambient temperatures, could
see hose service life reduced by 40 to 50%, therefore, it is
recommended to replace these hoses after 4000 to 5000
hours of service life.
Hydraulic hose assemblies operating in climate zones “D”
and “E” (Table 2-1), cold climates, should expect a degrade
of mechanical properties, long term exposure to these cold
temperatures will negatively impact service life. Therefore it
is recommended for these hoses to be inspected thoroughly
as service life may be less than 8000 hours.
