Important Safety Information: Instructions for Hose Routing 5
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as:
• Drive shafts, universal joints and hitches (i.e. 3-point hitch)
• Pulleys, gears, sprockets
• Deflection and backlash of belts and chains
• Adjustment zones of adjustable brackets
• Changes of position in steering and suspension systems
• Moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, attachments
• Ground engaging components
For harness sections that move during machine operation:
• Allow sufficient length for free movement without interference to prevent: pulling, pinching, catching or
rubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points
• Clamp harnesses securely to force controlled movement to occur in the desired harness section
• Avoid sharp twisting or flexing of harnesses in short distances
• Connectors and splices should not be located in harness sections that move
Protect harnesses from:
• Foreign objects such as rocks that may fall or be thrown by the unit
• Buildup of dirt, mud, snow, ice, submersion in water and oil
• Tree limbs, brush and debris
• Damage where service personnel or operators might step or use as a grab bar
• Damage when passing through metal structures
• High pressure wash
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOSE ROUTING
The word hoses is used to mean all flexible fluid carrying components. Follow existing hoses as much as possible
and use these guidelines:
Hoses should not contact or be attached to:
• Components with high vibration forces
• Components carrying hot fluids beyond hoses component specifications
Avoid contact with any sharp edge or abrading surfaces such as, but not limited to:
• Sheared or flame cut edges
• Edges of machined surfaces
• Fastener threads or cap screw heads
• Ends of adjustable hose clamps
