Follow existing hoses as much as possibleand use these guidelines:Hoses should not contact or be attached to:• Components with high vibration forces• Components carrying hot fluids beyond component specificationsAvoid 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 clampsRouting 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 thetemperature rating of hose components• Hoses should be protected or shielded if it needs to route near hot temperatures beyond hose componentspecificationsHoses should not have sharp bendsAllow 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 componentsFor hose sections that move during machine operation:• Allow sufficient length for free movement without interference to prevent: pulling, pinching, catching orrubbing, especially in articulation and pivot points• Clamp hoses securely to force controlled movement to occur in the desired hose section• Avoid sharp twisting or flexing of hoses in short distancesProtect hoses from:CAUTION
