Fitting Installation
SMCS Code: 7553
NOTE: The tightening sequence of the
fasteners
that
attach
a
tube
assembly or hose assembly to the
machine is very critical to the
proper function of the machine.
The sealing surfaces of the tube
assembly
or
hose
assembly
should be secured squarely. The
sealing surfaces of the tube
assembly
or
hose
assembly
should
be
tightened
to
the
serviced
component
(control
valve, cylinder, hydraulic motor,
etc). Perform this procedure prior
to the final tightening of any
clamps or clips that are used in
order to fasten the tube assembly
or the hose assembly to the
machine.
Installation of the Hydraulic Line
1.
For a metal tube to hose installation, install the tube and
tighten all bolts finger tight at the rigid end.
2.
Install the hose and tighten all bolts finger tight.
3.
Put the hose in a position so that the hose does not
make contact with the machine or with another hose.
4.
Tighten the bolts on both connections to the specified
torque.
5.
Start the engine.
6.
Move the implement control levers to all of the positions.
7.
Look at the hose during movement of the implement.
Ensure that the hose is not in contact with the machine
or other hoses. Shut off the engine.
8.
If necessary, put the hose in a new position so that the
hose will not make contact when the machine
implement is moved.
Assembly of the Fittings with Straight Threads and
O-Ring Seals
This type of fitting is used in many applications. The tube end
of the fitting will be different in design so that the fitting can be
used in many different applications. However, the same
installation procedure for the fitting can be used. If the tube
end of the fitting body and the illustration (elbow or straight
body) match, it is necessary to assemble the sleeve on the
tube before connecting the tube to the end.
