IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

•

Inspect all electrical components and connections for damage or corrosion. Repair or replace 

components, connections, or cable as necessary. 

•

Ensure connections are clean, dry, and not damaged. Repair or replace components, connections, 

or cable as necessary. 

•

Clean components or connections using low pressure water, pressurized air, or an aerosol electrical 

component cleaning agent. 

•

Remove visible surface water from components, connections, or seals using pressurized air or an 

aerosol electrical component cleaning agent. allow components to dry completely before 

reconnecting cables.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOSE ROUTING

The word “hose” is used to mean all flexible fluid carrying components. Follow existing hoses as much as possible 

and use these guidelines:

Hoses should not contact or be attached to:
• Components with high vibration forces
• Components carrying hot fluids beyond component specifications

Avoid contact with any sharp edge or abrading surfaces such as, but not limited to:
• Sheared or flame cut edges
• Edges of machined surfaces
• Fastener threads or cap screw heads
• Ends of adjustable hose clamps

Routing should not allow hoses to:
• Hang below the unit
• Have the potential to become damaged due to exposure to the exterior environment. (i.e. tree limbs, debris, 

attachments)

• Be placed in areas of or in contact with machine components which develop temperatures higher than the 

temperature rating of hose components

• Hoses should be protected or shielded if it needs to route near hot temperatures beyond hose component 

specifications

Hoses should not have sharp bends

Allow sufficient clearance from machine component operational zones such as:
• Drive shafts, universal joints and hitches (i.e. 3-point hitch)
• Pulleys, gears, sprockets
• Deflection and backlash of belts and chains
• Adjustment zones of adjustable brackets
• Changes of position in steering and suspension systems
• Moving linkages, cylinders, articulation joints, attachments
• Ground engaging components

For hose sections that move during machine operation:
