PROPER USAGE

1. Do Not Kink Hoses

2. Do Not pull the hoses to

move the tools.

3. Prevent twisting of the hose

4. Do Not use hoses to keep

equipment in position.

(especially if hoses are

pressurized)

Maintenance

• Avoid allowing dirt inside of

the couplings.

•Remove dirt and oil with a

clean dry rag.

•Clean with mild soap and

water.

• You may Lubricate the

coupling with hydraulic oil or

by spraying WD-40.

•Spray behind the locking

sleeve and the back end of

the coupling. (Location A)

NOTE: 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.
