If pump does not operate properly, it may have lost

its prime. Follow the procedure below to prime your

pump, if necessary.

1. Fill pump with ENERPAC hydraulic oil, if necessary.

2. Place pump on horizontal surface.

3. Set air supply pressure to 30 – 40 psi (2,1 – 2,7 bar)

4. Move pump treadle to RELEASE position.

5. Depress the button under the treadle to activate

the pump. Operate pump in RELEASE position

momentarily several times to allow oil to ow back

into pump and ll passage ways.

Safety Guide

Parker Safety Guide for Selecting and Using

Hose, Tubing, Fittings and Related Accessories

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 Scope: is safety guide provides instructions for selecting and using

(including assembling, installing, and maintaining) these Products.

For convenience, all rubber and/or thermoplastic products commonly

called “hose” or “tubing” are called “Hose” in this safety guide. All

assemblies made with Hose are called “Hose Assemblies”. All products

commonly called “ttings”, “couplings” or “adapters” are called

“Fittings”. All related accessories (including crimping and swaging

machines and tooling) are called “Related Accessories”. is safety

guide is a supplement to and is to be used with the specic Parker

publications for the specic Hose, Fittings and Related Accessories that

are being considered for use. Parker publications are available at

www.parker.com. SAE J1273 (www.sae.org) and ISO 17165-2

(www.ansi.org) also provide recommended practices for hydraulic

Hose Assemblies.

1.2 Fail-Safe: Hose, Hose Assemblies and Fittings can and do fail without

warning for many reasons. Design all systems and equipment in a

fail-safe mode, so that failure of the Hose, Hose Assembly or Fitting will

not endanger persons or property.

1.3 Distribution: Provide a copy of this safety guide to each person

responsible for selecting or using Hose and Fitting products. Do

not select or use Parker Hose or Fittings without thoroughly reading and

understanding this safety guide as well as the specic Parker

publications for the Products.

1.4 User Responsibility: Due to the wide variety of operating conditions and

applications for Hose and Fittings, Parker does not represent or warrant

that any particular Hose or Fitting is suitable for any specic end use

system. is safety guide does not analyze all technical parameters that

must be considered in selecting a product. e user, through its own

analysis and testing, is solely responsible for:

 • MakingthenalselectionoftheProducts.

1.5 Additional Questions: Call the appropriate Parker technical service

department if you have any questions or require any additional

information. See the Parker publication for the Products being

considered or used, or call 1-800-CPARKER, or go to

www.parker.com, for telephone numbers of the appropriate

technical service department.

2.0 HOSE AND FITTINGS SELECTION INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Electrical Conductivity: Certain applications require that the Hose

be nonconductive to prevent electrical current ow. Other

applications require the Hose and the Fittings and the Hose/

Fitting interface to be suciently conductive to drain o static

electricity. Extreme care must be exercised when selecting Hose and

Fittings for these or any other applications in which electrical

conductivity or nonconductivity is a factor.

e electrical conductivity or nonconductivity of Hose and Fittings

is dependent upon many factors and may be susceptible to change.

ese factors include but are not limited to the various materials

used to make the Hose and the Fittings, Fitting nish (some Fitting

nishes are electrically conductive while others are nonconductive),

manufacturing methods (including moisture control), how the

Fittings contact the Hose, age and amount of deterioration or

damage or other changes, moisture content of the Hose at any

particular time, and other factors.

e following are considerations for electrically nonconductive and

conductive Hose. For other applications consult the individual

catalog pages and the appropriate industry or regulatory standards

for proper selection.

2.1.1 Electrically Nonconductive Hose: Certain applications require

that the Hose be nonconductive to prevent electrical current ow or

to maintain electrical isolation. For applications that require

Hose to be electrically nonconductive, including but not limited to

applications near high voltage electric lines, only special

nonconductive Hose can be used. e manufacturer of the

equipment in which the nonconductive Hose is to be used must

be consulted to be certain that the Hose and Fittings that are

selected are proper for the application. Do not use any Parker

Hose or Fittings for any such application requiring nonconductive

Hose, including but not limited to applications near high voltage

electric lines, unless (i) the application is expressly approved in

the Parker technical publication for the product, (ii) the Hose is

marked “nonconductive”, and (iii) the manufacturer of the

equipment on which the Hose is to be used specically approves

the particular Parker Hose and Fittings for such use.

2.1.2 Electrically Conductive Hose: Parker manufactures special Hose

for certain applications that require electrically conductive Hose.

Parker manufactures special Hose for conveying paint in airless

paint spraying applications. is Hose is labeled “Electrically

Conductive Airless Paint Spray Hose” on its layline and packaging.

is Hose must be properly connected to the appropriate Parker

Fittings and properly grounded in order to dissipate dangerous static

charge buildup, which occurs in all airless paint spraying applications.

Do not use any other Hose for airless paint spraying, even if

electrically conductive. Use of any other Hose or failure to properly

connect the Hose can cause a re or an explosion resulting in death,

personal injury, and property damage.

Parker manufactures a special Hose for certain compressed natural

gas (“CNG”) applications where static electricity buildup may occur.

Parker CNG Hose assemblies comply with the requirements of

ANSI/IAS NGV 4.2-1999; CSA 12.52-M99, “Hoses for Natural Gas

Vehicles and Dispensing Systems” (www.ansi.org). is Hose is

labeled “Electrically Conductive for CNG Use” on its layline and

packaging. is Hose must be properly connected to the appropriate

Parker Fittings and properly grounded in order to dissipate dangerous

static charge buildup, which occurs in, for example, high velocity CNG

dispensing or transfer. Do not use any other Hose for CNG

applications where static charge buildup may occur, even if

electrically conductive. Use of other Hoses in CNG applications

or failure to properly connect or ground this Hose can cause a re or

an explosion resulting in death, personal injury, and property

damage. Care must also be taken to protect against CNG permeation

through the Hose wall. See section 2.6, Permeation, for more

information. Parker CNG Hose is intended for dispenser and vehicle

use at a maximum temperature of 180°F (82°C). Parker CNG Hose

should not be used in conned spaces or unventilated areas or areas

exceeding 180°F (82°C). Final assemblies must be tested for leaks.

CNG Hose Assemblies should be tested on a monthly basis for

conductivity per ANSI/IAS NGV 4.2-1999; CSA 12.52-M99.

Parker manufactures special Hose for aerospace in-ight

applications. Aerospace in-ight applications employing Hose

to transmit fuel, lubricating uids and hydraulic uids require

a special Hose with a conductive inner tube. is Hose for in-ight

applications is available only from Parker’s Stratoex Products

Division. Do not use any other Parker Hose for in-ight applications,

even if electrically conductive. Use of other Hoses for in-ight

applications or failure to properly connect or ground this Hose can

cause a re or an explosion resulting in death, personal injury

and property damage. ese Hose assemblies for in-ight

applications must meet all applicable aerospace industry, aircraft

engine and aircraft requirements.

2.2 Pressure: Hose selection must be made so that the published

maximum working pressure of the Hose and Fittings are equal to

or greater than the maximum system pressure. e maximum

working pressure of a Hose Assembly is the lower of the respective

published maximum working pressures of the Hose and the Fittings

used. Surge pressures or peak transient pressures in the system

must be below the published maximum working pressure for the

Hose. Surge pressures and peak pressures can usually only be

determined by sensitive electrical instrumentation that measures and

indicates pressures at millisecond intervals. Mechanical pressure

gauges indicate only average pressures and cannot be used to

determine surge pressures or peak transient pressures. Published

burst pressure ratings for Hose is for manufacturing test purposes

only and is no indication that the Product can be used in applications

at the burst pressure or otherwise above the published maximum

recommended working pressure.

2.3 Suction: Hoses used for suction applications must be selected to

insure that the Hose will withstand the vacuum and pressure of the

system. Improperly selected Hose may collapse in suction application.

2.4 Temperature: Be certain that uid and ambient temperatures,

both steady and transient, do not exceed the limitations of the Hose.

Temperatures below and above the recommended limit can degrade

Hose to a point where a failure may occur and release uid. Properly

insulate and protect the Hose Assembly when routing near hot objects

(e.g. manifolds). Do not use any Hose in any application where failure

of the Hose could result in the conveyed uids (or vapors or mist from

the conveyed uids) contacting any open ame, molten metal, or

other potential re ignition source that could cause burning or

explosion of the conveyed uids or vapors.

2.5 Fluid Compatibility: Hose Assembly selection must assure

compatibility of the Hose tube, cover, reinforcement, and Fittings

with the uid media used. See the uid compatibility chart in

the Parker publication for the product being considered or used.

is information is oered only as a guide. Actual service life can only

be determined by the end user by testing under all extreme conditions

and other analysis.

Hose that is chemically compatible with a particular uid must be

assembled using Fittings and adapters containing likewise compatible

seals.

2.6 Permeation: Permeation (that is, seepage through the Hose) will

occur from inside the Hose to outside when Hose is used with gases,

liquid and gas fuels, and refrigerants (including but not limited to such

materials as helium, diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, or LPG). is

permeation may result in high concentrations of vapors which are

potentially ammable, explosive, or toxic, and in loss of uid.

Dangerous explosions, res, and other hazards can result when using

the wrong Hose for such applications. e system designer must take

into account the fact that this permeation will take place and must

not use Hose if this permeation could be hazardous. e system

designer must take into account all legal, government, insurance, or

any other special regulations which govern the use of fuels and

refrigerants. Never use a Hose even though the uid compatibility

is acceptable without considering the potential hazardous eects that

can result from permeation through the Hose Assembly.

Permeation of moisture from outside the Hose to inside the Hose

will also occur in Hose assemblies, regardless of internal pressure. If

this moisture permeation would have detrimental eects (particularly,

but not limited to refrigeration and air conditioning systems),

incorporation of sucient drying capacity in the system or other

appropriate system safeguards should be selected and used.

2.7 Size: Transmission of power by means of pressurized uid varies with

pressure and rate of ow. e size of the components must be

adequate to keep pressure losses to a minimum and avoid damage due

to heat generation or excessive uid velocity.

2.8 Routing: Attention must be given to optimum routing to minimize

inherent problems (kinking or ow restriction due to Hose collapse,

twisting of the Hose, proximity to hot objects or heat sources). For

additional routing recommendations see SAE J1273 and ISO 17165-2.

Hose Assemblies have a nite life and if possible, should be installed in

a manner that allows for ease of inspection and future replacement.

Rubber Hose because of its relative short life, should not be used in

residential and commercial buildings for HVAC (heating, ventilating

and air conditioning) applications.

2.9 Environment: Care must be taken to insure that the Hose and

Fittings are either compatible with or protected from the environment

(that is, surrounding conditions) to which they are exposed.

Environmental conditions including but not limited to ultraviolet

radiation, sunlight, heat, ozone, moisture, water, salt water, chemicals

and air pollutants can cause degradation and premature failure.

2.10 Mechanical Loads: External forces can signicantly reduce Hose

life or cause failure. Mechanical loads which must be considered

include excessive exing, twist, kinking, tensile or side loads, bend

radius, and vibration. Use of swivel type Fittings or adapters may be

required to insure no twist is put into the Hose. Unusual applications

may require special testing prior to Hose selection.

2.11 Physical Damage: Care must be taken to protect Hose from wear,

snagging, kinking, bending smaller that minimum bend radius and

cutting, any of which can cause premature Hose failure. Any Hose that

has been kinked or bent to a radius smaller than the minimum bend

radius, and any Hose that has been cut or is cracked or is otherwise

damaged should be removed and discarded.

2.12 Proper End Fitting: See instructions 3.2 through 3.5. ese

recommendations may be substantiated by testing to industry

standards such as SAE J517 for hydraulic applications, or MIL-A-5070,

AS1339, or AS3517 for Hoses from Parker’s Stratoex Products Division

for aerospace applications.

2.13 Length: When establishing a proper Hose length, motion absorption,

Hose length changes due to pressure, and Hose and machine

tolerances and movement must be considered.

Parker Publication No. 4400-B.1 Revised: November, 2007

16 17

2.14 Specications and Standards: When selecting Hose and Fittings,

government, industry, and Parker specications and

recommendations must be reviewed and followed as applicable.

2.15 Hose Cleanliness: Hose components may vary in cleanliness levels.

Care must be taken to insure that the Hose Assembly selected has an

adequate level of cleanliness for the application.

2.16 Fire Resistant Fluids: Some re resistant uids that are to be

conveyed by Hose require use of the same type of Hose as used with

petroleum base uids. Some such uids require a special Hose, while

a few uids will not work with any Hose at all. See instructions 2.5

and 1.5. e wrong Hose may fail after a very short service. In

addition, all liquids but pure water may burn ercely under certain

conditions, and even pure water leakage may be hazardous.

2.17 Radiant Heat: Hose can be heated to destruction without contact by

such nearby items as hot manifolds or molten metal. e same heat

source may then initiate a re. is can occur despite the presence of

cool air around the Hose.

2.18 Welding or Brazing: When using a torch or arc welder in close

proximity to hydraulic lines, the hydraulic lines should be removed

or shielded with appropriate re resistant materials. Flame or weld

spatter could burn through the Hose and possibly ignite escaping uid

resulting in a catastrophic failure. Heating of plated parts, including

Hose Fittings and adapters, above 450°F (232°C) such as during

welding, brazing or soldering may emit deadly gases.

2.19 Atomic Radiation: Atomic radiation aects all materials used in Hose

assemblies. Since the long-term eects may be unknown, do not

expose Hose assemblies to atomic radiation.

2.20 Aerospace Applications: e only Hose and Fittings that may be

used for in-ight aerospace applications are those available from

Parker’s Stratoex Products Division. Do not use any other Hose

or Fittings for in-ight applications. Do not use any Hose or Fittings

from Parker’s Stratoex Products Division with any other Hose or

Fittings, unless expressly approved in writing by the engineering

manager or chief engineer of Stratoex Products Division and

veried by the user’s own testing and inspection to aerospace

industry standards.

2.21 Unlocking Couplings: Ball locking couplings or other Fittings with

quick disconnect ability can unintentionally disconnect if they are

dragged over obstructions, or if the sleeve or other disconnect

member, is bumped or moved enough to cause disconnect. readed

Fittings should be considered where there is a potential for accidental

uncoupling.

3.0 HOSE AND FITTINGS ASSEMBLY AND

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Component Inspection: Prior to assembly, a careful examination

of the Hose and Fittings must be performed. All components must be

checked for correct style, size, catalog number, and length. e Hose

must be examined for cleanliness, obstructions, blisters, cover

looseness, kinks, cracks, cuts or any other visible defects. Inspect

the Fitting and sealing surfaces for burrs, nicks, corrosion or other

imperfections. Do NOT use any component that displays any signs

of nonconformance.

3.2 Hose and Fitting Assembly: Do not assemble a Parker Fitting on a

Parker Hose that is not specically listed by Parker for that Fitting,

unless authorized in writing by the engineering manager or chief

engineer of the appropriate Parker division. Do not assemble a

Parker Fitting on another manufacturer’s Hose or a Parker Hose

on another manufacturer’s Fitting unless (i) the engineering manager

or chief engineer of the appropriate Parker division approves the

Assembly in writing or that combination is expressly approved in

the appropriate Parker literature for the specic Parker product, and

(ii) the user veries the Assembly and the application through analysis

and testing. For Parker Hose that does not specify a Parker Fitting,

the user is solely responsible for the selection of the proper Fitting and

Hose Assembly procedures. See instruction 1.4.

To prevent the possibility of problems such as leakage at the Fitting or

system contamination, it is important to completely remove all debris

from the cutting operation before installation of the Fittings. e

Parker published instructions must be followed for assembling

the Fittings on the Hose. ese instructions are provided in the

Parker Fitting catalog for the specic Parker Fitting being used, or by

calling 1-800-CPARKER, or at www.parker.com.

3.3 Related Accessories: Do not crimp or swage any Parker Hose or

Fitting with anything but the listed swage or crimp machine and dies

in accordance with Parker published instructions. Do not crimp or

swage another manufacturer’s Fitting with a Parker crimp or swage

die unless authorized in writing by the engineering manager or chief

engineer of the appropriate Parker division.

3.4 Parts: Do not use any Parker Fitting part (including but not limited

to socket, shell, nipple, or insert) except with the correct Parker

mating parts, in accordance with Parker published instructions,

unless authorized in writing by the engineering manager or chief

engineer of the appropriate Parker division.

3.5 Field Attachable/Permanent: Do not reuse any eld attachable

Hose Fitting that has blown or pulled o a Hose. Do not reuse a

Parker permanent Hose Fitting (crimped or swaged) or any part

thereof. Complete Hose Assemblies may only be reused after proper

inspection under section 4.0. Do not assemble Fittings to any

previously used hydraulic Hose that was in service, for use in a uid

power application.

3.6 Pre-Installation Inspection: Prior to installation, a careful

examination of the Hose Assembly must be performed. Inspect the

Hose Assembly for any damage or defects. DO NOT use any Hose

Assembly that displays any signs of nonconformance.

3.7 Minimum Bend Radius: Installation of a Hose at less than the

minimum listed bend radius may signicantly reduce the Hose life.

Particular attention must be given to preclude sharp bending at

the Hose to Fitting juncture. Any bending during installation at less

than the minimum bend radius must be avoided. If any Hose is

kinked during installation, the Hose must be discarded.

3.8 Twist Angle and Orientation: Hose Assembly installation must

be such that relative motion of machine components does not

produce twisting.

3.9 Securement: In many applications, it may be necessary to restrain,

protect, or guide the Hose to protect it from damage by unnecessary

exing, pressure surges, and contact with other mechanical

components. Care must be taken to insure such restraints do not

introduce additional stress or wear points.

3.10 Proper Connection of Ports: Proper physical installation of the

Hose Assembly requires a correctly installed port connection insuring

that no twist or torque is transferred to the Hose when the Fittings are

being tightened or otherwise during use.

3.11 External Damage: Proper installation is not complete without

insuring that tensile loads, side loads, kinking, attening, potential

abrasion, thread damage or damage to sealing surfaces are corrected

or eliminated. See instruction 2.10.

3.12 System Checkout: All air entrapment must be eliminated and the

system pressurized to the maximum system pressure (at or below the

Hose maximum working pressure) and checked for proper function

and freedom from leaks. Personnel must stay out of potentia

hazardous areas while testing and using.

3.13 Routing: e Hose Assembly should be routed in such a manner so

if a failure does occur, the escaping media will not cause personal

injury or property damage. In addition, if uid media comes in

contact with hot surfaces, open ame or sparks, a re or explosion

may occur. See section 2.4.

3.14 Ground Fault Equipment Protection Devices (GFEPDs):

WARNING! Fire and Shock Hazard. To minimize the danger of re

if the heating cable of a Multitube bundle is damaged or improperly

installed, use a Ground Fault Equipment Protection Device.

Electrical fault currents may be insucient to trip a conventional

circuit breaker.

For ground fault protection, the IEEE 515:1989 (www.ansi.org)

standard for heating cables recommends the use of GFEPDs with a

nominal 30 milliampere trip level for “piping systems in classied

areas, those areas requiring a high degree of maintenance, or which

may be exposed to physical abuse or corrosive atmospheres”.

4.0 HOSE AND FITTING MAINTENANCE

AND REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

4.1 Even with proper selection and installation, Hose life may be

signicantly reduced without a continuing maintenance program.

e severity of the application, risk potential from a possible Hose

failure, and experience with any Hose failures in the application or in

similar applications should determine the frequency of the inspection

and the replacement for the Products so that Products are replaced

before any failure occurs. A maintenance program must be

established and followed by the user and, at minimum, must include

instructions 4.2 through 4.7.

4.2 Visual Inspection Hose/Fitting: Any of the following conditions

require immediate shut down and replacement of the Hose Assembly:

 • FittingslippageonHose;

 • Damaged,cracked,cutorabradedcover(anyreinforcement

4.4 Functional Test: Operate the system at maximum operating pressure

and check for possible malfunctions and leaks. Personnel must avoid

potential hazardous areas while testing and using the system. See

section 2.2.

4.5 Replacement Intervals: Hose assemblies and elastomeric seals

used on Hose Fittings and adapters will eventually age, harden,

wear and deteriorate under thermal cycling and compression set.

Hose Assemblies and elastomeric seals should be inspected and

replaced at specic replacement intervals, based on previous service

life, government or industry recommendations, or when failures could

result in unacceptable downtime, damage, or injury risk. See section

1.2. Hose and Fittings may be subjected to internal mechanical and/

or chemical wear from the conveying uid and may fail without

warning. e user must determine the product life under such

circumstances by testing. Also see section 2.5.

4.6 Hose Inspection and Failure: Hydraulic power is accomplished

by utilizing high pressure uids to transfer energy and do work.

Hoses, Fittings and Hose Assemblies all contribute to this by

transmitting uids at high pressures. Fluids under pressure can be

dangerous and potentially lethal and, therefore, extreme caution must

be exercised when working with uids under pressure and handling

the Hoses transporting the uids. From time to time, Hose Assemblies

will fail if they are not replaced at proper time intervals. Usually these

failures are the result of some form of misapplication, abuse, wear or

failure to perform proper maintenance. When Hoses fail, generally

the high pressure uids inside escape in a stream which may or may

not be visible to the user. Under no circumstances should the user

attempt to locate the leak by “feeling” with their hands or any other

part of their body. High pressure uids can and will penetrate the skin

and cause severe tissue damage and possibly loss of limb. Even

seemingly minor hydraulic uid injection injuries must be treated

immediately by a physician with knowledge of the tissue damaging

properties of hydraulic uid.

If a Hose failure occurs, immediately shut down the equipment and

leave the area until pressure has been completely released from the

Hose Assembly. Simply shutting down the hydraulic pump may or

may not eliminate the pressure in the Hose Assembly. Many times

check valves, etc., are employed in a system and can cause pressure

to remain in a Hose Assembly even when pumps or equipment are

not operating. Tiny holes in the Hose, commonly known as pinholes,

can eject small, dangerously powerful but hard to see streams of

hydraulic uid. It may take several minutes or even hours for

the pressure to be relieved so that the Hose Assembly may be

examined safely.

Once the pressure has been reduced to zero, the Hose Assembly may

be taken o the equipment and examined. It must always be replaced

if a failure has occurred. Never attempt to patch or repair a Hose

Assembly that has failed. Consult the nearest Parker distributor or

the appropriate Parker division for Hose Assembly replacement

information.

Never touch or examine a failed Hose Assembly unless it is obvious

that the Hose no longer contains uid under pressure. e high

pressure uid is extremely dangerous and can cause serious and

potentially fatal injury.

4.7 Elastomeric Seals: Elastomeric seals will eventually age, harden,

wear and deteriorate under thermal cycling and compression set.

Elastomeric seals should be inspected and replaced.

4.8 Refrigerant Gases: Special care should be taken when working

with refrigeration systems. Sudden escape of refrigerant gases can

cause blindness if the escaping gases contact the eye and can cause

freezing or other severe injuries if it contacts any other portion of

the body.

4.9 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Parker CNG Hose Assemblies

should be tested after installation and before use, and at least on

a monthly basis per ANSI/IAS NGV 4.2-1999; CSA 12.52-M99

Section 4.2 “Visual Inspection Hose/Fitting”. e recommended

procedure is to pressurize the Hose and check for leaks and to visually

inspect the Hose for damage.

Caution: Matches, candles, open ame or other sources of ignition

shall not be used for Hose inspection. Leak check solutions should be

rinsed o after use.

5.0 HOSE STORAGE

5.1 Age Control: Hose and Hose Assemblies must be stored in a

manner that facilitates age control and rst-in and rst-out usage

based on manufacturing date of the Hose and Hose Assemblies.

e shelf life of rubber Hose or Hose Assemblies that have passed

visual inspection and a proof test is 10 years (40 quarters) from the

date of manufacture. e shelf life of thermoplastic and

polytetrauoroethylene Hose or Hose Assemblies is considered

to be unlimited.

5.2 Storage: Stored Hose and Hose Assemblies must not be subjected

to damage that could reduce their expected service life and must be

placed in a cool, dark and dry area with the ends capped. Stored Hose

and Hose Assemblies must not be exposed to temperature extremes,

ozone, oils, corrosive liquids or fumes, solvents, high humidity,

rodents, insects, ultraviolet light, electromagnetic elds or radioactive

materials.
