HOSE PREPARATION
1. Select your hose and coupling to be assembled. The examples in this Manual use MX06 hose and
HY06/06 MP couplings.
2. Determine the correct crimp setting from the manufacturer’s specifications.
3. Determine the hose cut length
by subtracting the cut-off factor
from the overall length of the as-
sembly.
4. Using a suitable saw, cut the
hose square and to the proper
length.
5. Coat the coupling with ap-
propriate hose assembly lubricant
to ease hose insertion. Insert the
hose until it “bottoms out” in the
coupling shell.
6. To insure that the hose is
“bottomed out” in the coupling,
mark the insertion depth on the
hose before inserting it into the coupling (see figure below).
7. The most effective method for insertion is to use a clockwise, twisting motion, or if tolerances are tight,
grasping the coupling hex in a vise while twisting the hose.

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
Front Flange Bolts: Periodically, every 6-12 months depending upon
usage, the front flange bolt torque should be checked. The correct torque
is 332NM (245 Ft Lbs).
This specific style of grease gun fitting must be used to lubricate
the KH4-50.
