User Manual
The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be equal to or higher than the relief valve setting on the hy-
draulic system. There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement and are authorized for use with
Stanley Hydraulic Tools. They are:
Certified non-conductive
— constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fiber braid
reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
Hose labeled
certified non-
conductive
is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.
Wire-braided
(conductive) — constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid reinforce-
ment, and weather resistant synthetic rubber cover.
This hose is
conductive
and must never be used near
electrical conductors.
Fabric-braided
(not certified or labeled non-conductive) — constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber in
-
ner tube, synthetic fiber braid reinforcement, and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
This
hose is
not certified non-conductive
and must never be used near electrical conductors.
