7.9—HYDRAULIC HOSES

To avoid serious bodily injury, always lower mow-
ers to the ground, place all controls in neutral
and shut off engine before inspecting hydraulic
lines or hoses. Never run hands across tubes,
hoses or fittings to check for leaks.

Hydraulic hose and tube lines should be inspected every week
to check for cuts, loose connections, kinks and wear.

Be sure tubes and hoses do not come in contact with other
frame parts which could cause abrasive wear. Always replace
worn hoses or tubes before operating machine.

1. Assemble nut, sleeves and tube to fitting body with

minimum torque (finger tight) until flare contacts
seat on fitting body.

2. For tightening reference, mark a line lengthwise on both

the nut and adapter fitting with a marker.

3. Using a wrench, rotate the nut to tighten. Turn the nut the

amount shown in the chart below. The line will show which
fitting have been tightened and how much.

4. On hoses with “o-ring” fittings, make sure o-rings are

clean and hose fittings are properly seated by hand before
wrench tightening.

5. Hold the fixed portion of the hose coupling with one

wrench; use a second wrench to tighten or loosen the hose
nut. This will prevent damage to the fitting seal. When
tightening a hose, do not allow it to twist; hold it in a
normal, straight position.
