MAINTENANCE OF THE FLEXIBLE HOSE
INSPECTION OF THE HOSE
• Lay the flexible hoses on the floor and control if there are oil leaks and the hose surfaces are integral
without peeled sections showing metallic braid with broken wires.
• the presence of little sections of wire braid can be tolerated only if the wires are not broken and still
braided.
• Control the pressed bushing at the extremity of the hoses and discard immediately hoses showing
damaged end terminals with unnatural bending, squeezing, deformations, etc….
• Check that the quick couplers are well dry, without oil leaks and that the knurled bushing on the female
quick coupler is intact and can slide freely during the connections. The male coupler should be intact,
without dents and deformations. If you try to force the connection of a damaged male coupler, this will
damage irremediably also the female.
• If the flexible hoses and quick couplers show oil leaks, even if the couplers are well screwed into the
hose fittings, they should be immediately substituted with new parts.
• Replace hoses that show squeezing, unnatural bending, deformations, swellings, etc
…
THE FLEXIBLE HOSE ALWAYS REMAINS FULL OF OIL THAT, DEPENDING ON THE HOSE LENGTH, CAN
HAVE A RELEVANT VOLUME. IF YOU CHANGE THE HYDRAULIC OIL IN THE POWER PACK IT IS
RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE ALSO THE OIL IN THE HOSES. THIS WILL ASSURE A FULL
REPLACEMENT AND AVOID THE CONTAMINATION OF THE NEW OIL.
