HOSE SAFETY
hose develops e leak, split or rupture due to any kind of wear,
High pressure fluid in the hoses can be very dangerous. If the
damage or misuse, the high pressure spray emitted from

fluid injection injury or other serious bodily injury or
property damage.
ALL FLUID HOSES MUST HAVE SPRING GUARDS ON
BOTH ENDS1 The spring guards help protect the hose
from
kinks or bends at or close to the coupling which can result in
hose rupture.
Never operate the hose when
