11. Install the Hydraulic Fittings, Hoses and Return Lines
When attaching hydraulic fittings with pipe threads to the cylinders use Teflon tape. DO NOT start
the Teflon tape closer than 1/8" from the end of the fitting. Failure to comply may cause damage
to the Hydraulic system.
When tightening connections with flared (JIC) fittings, always follow the following tightening
instructions. Failure to follow the below instructions may result in cracked fitting and/or leaks.
§ The nut portion of the fitting is the only part that should turn during tightening. The flare
seat MUST NOT turn.
§ Screw the fittings together hand tight.
§ Rotate the nut portion of the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats.
§ Back the fitting off one full turn.
§ Again, tighten the fitting hand tight, and then rotate the nut portion of the fitting 2-1/2 hex
flats.
