Make sure that all clamps, guards, clips, and straps are reinstalled correctly. This action will help to prevent vibration,
rubbing against other parts, and excessive heat during machine operation.
Attaching electrical wiring to hoses and tubes that contain flammable fluids or combustible fluids should be avoided.
Consult your dealer for repair or for replacement parts.
Keep wiring and electrical connections free of debris.

Lines, Tubes and Hoses

Do not bend high-pressure lines. Do not strike high-pressure lines. Do not install bent lines, bent tubes, or bent hoses. Do not
install damaged lines, damaged tubes, or damaged hoses.
Repair loose lines, loose tubes, and loose hoses. Repair damaged lines, damaged tubes, and damaged hoses. Use the
appropriate backup wrenches in order to tighten all connections to the recommended torque. Leaks can cause fires. Contact
Vanguard Equipment for replacement parts.
Check lines, tubes and hoses carefully. Wear Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in order to check for leaks. Do not use
your bare hands to check for leaks. Always use a board or cardboard to check for leaks. Leaking fluid that is under pressure
can penetrate body tissue. Fluid penetration can cause serious injury and possible death. A pin hole leak can cause severe
injury. If fluid is injected into your skin, you must get treatment immediately. Seek treatment from a doctor that is familiar
with this type of injury.
Replace the affected parts if any of the following conditions are present:
•
End fittings are damaged or leaking.
•
Outer coverings are chafed or cut.
•
Wires are exposed.
•
Outer coverings are swelling or ballooning.
•
Flexible parts of the hoses are kinked or crushed.
•
Outer covers have exposed embedded armoring.
•
End fittings are displaced.
Make sure that all clamps, guards, and heat shields are installed correctly. During machine operation, this action will help to
prevent vibration, rubbing against other parts, excessive heat, and failure of lines, tubes, and hoses.
Do not operate a machine when a fire hazard exists. Repair any lines that are corroded, loose, or damaged. Leaks may
provide fuel for fires. Consult your dealer for repair or for replacement parts. Use genuine OEM parts or the equivalent, for
capabilities of both the pressure limit and temperature limit.
