Hydraulic hose has a limited life dependent on service conditions to which it is applied. Subjecting hose (and hose assemblies) to conditions more severe than the recommended limits significantly reduces service life.
Exposure to combinations of recommended limits like continuous use at maximum rated working pressure, maximum recommended operating temperature and minimum bend radius will also reduce service life.
Failure to follow proper selection, installation and maintenance
Procedures will result in injury to people or damage to equipment.
Hose assemblies in service should be regularly inspected for damage. Assemblies showing signs of wear or damage should be replaced immediately.
