HYDRAULIC HOSE REQUIREMENTS
TYPES OF HYDRAULIC HOSE
There are three types of hydraulic hose that meet this requirement. They are:
1, Certified non-conductive
2, Wire-braided (conductive)
3, Fabric-braided (not certified or labeled non-conductive)
Hose 1 can be used near electrical conductors
Hose2,3 must never be used near electrical conductors.
THE TAG SHOWN BELOW IS ATTACHED TO CERTIFIED NON-CONDUCTIVE HOSE
1. Use this hydraulic hose on or near electric lines.
2. For proper and safe operation make sure that you have been properly trained in
3. Do not exceed hose working pressure or abuse hose. Keep hose as far away as
possible from body and do not permit direct contact during use.
4. Handle and route hose carefully to avoid kinking, cutting, or contact with high
temperature surfaces. Do not use if kinked. Do not use hose to do not remove this tag
pull or lift tools, power units, etc.
5. Check entire hose for cuts cracks leaks abrasions, bulges, or damage to couplings if
any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. Never use tape or any
device to attempt to mend the hose.
6. After each use store in a clean dry area.

Working Pressure
All hydraulic hose must have at least a rated minimum working pressure equal to the
maximum hydraulic system relief valve setting.
