Hydraulic Hose Replacement

Inspect hydraulic hoses between the lift cylinders and hydraulic lock-up valves frequently for leakage, kinking, cuts, cracks, abrasion, blisters, corrosion, exposed wire braid, or any other signs of wear or damage. Replace worn or damaged hose assemblies immediately. See yourJohn Deere™ dealer for replacement hoses.

CAUTION: Avoid serious injury or death while working under a raised implement. Replacement hoses must be properly rated.

Ensure that fabricated hoses are rated at no less than 20 680 kPa (207 bar) (3 000 psi.) according to SAE standard J517, 100R17 hose specification.

Decrease the chance of hose wear or damage. To ensure proper hose length and routing, use old hose as a guide.

To avoid mating surface damage and leaks, use steel fittings approved for use with hose manufacturer. Ensure that replacement hose fittings use the same size and thread type as replaced hose.
