Periodic replacement of hydraulic hose
1) Make sure to carry out periodic inspection of machine to guarantee safe operation. If listed
parts are damaged, it may cause serious fire. Because it is difficult to judge the aging situation
of these parts by vision, you should replace them at listed intervals. However, if any part is
found bad in the inspection, it should be replaced before operation without consideration of
intervals. Also check the hose couplers, if they are distorted, cracked or aged, replace them if
necessary.
2) Make sure to check all hoses periodically, and replace them if necessary.
3) Consult your dealer about how to replace hose correctly.
Always use recommended fuel and
lubricant, otherwise it will damage
the machine and lose the warranty of
Sunward.
