HYDRAULIC HOSE LIFE
Proper storage of hydraulic hoses can significantly increase the life of the hoses, for a period of three to five years.
After this period, service life of hoses may decrease, depending on variables such as variances in rubber materials
and storage environment. Refer to the guidelines below for best practices when storing.
•
Store in a clean, cool and dry area
•
Avoid direct sunlight or moisture
•
Do not store near high power electrical equipment
•
Avoid contact with corrosive chemicals
•
Avoid ultraviolet light
•
Avoid areas with obvious signs of insects or rodents
Unusually long periods of storage or poor storage environment may lead to performance issues or premature failure.
Always inspect all hoses prior to use for extensive wear, cuts, or holes. If such flaws are identified, replace immediately
to avoid potential failure, property damage or bodily injury.
Pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate
body tissue and result in death, serious
infection, or other injuries. Fluid injected
under skin must be IMMEDIATELY
removed by a surgeon familiar with this
type of injury. Make sure connections
are tight and hoses and fittings are
not damaged before applying system
pressure. Leaks can be invisible. Keep
away from suspected leaks. Relieve
pressure before searching for leaks or
performing any system maintenance.
