14. HYDRAULIC HOSES100 FT LENGTH PRE-CONNECTED33 FT LENGTHPROPER USAGE1. Do Not Kink Hoses2. Do Not pull the hoses to move the tools.3. Prevent twisting of the hose4. Do Not use hoses to keep equipment in position. (especially if hoses are pressurized)

15. Hydraulic Hose Quick Connect CouplingsMaintenance Avoid allowing dirt inside of the couplings.

16. Remove dirt and oil with a clean dry rag.

17. Clean with mild soap and water.

18. You may Lubricate the coupling with hydraulic oil or by spraying WD-40.

19. Spray behind the locking sleeve and the back end of the coupling. (Location A)Female couplingAMale CouplingLocking SleeveCoupling dust capsNOTE: After removing dust caps from the hydraulic hoses, make sure to secure the dust caps on the power unit by fastening them together around the frame. This keeps the dust caps from getting dirty and getting lost.
