3.15. CONNECTING HYDRAULIC HOSE TO CYLINDERS

Table 3.13. provides a list of parts required to connect hydraulic hose to the lift
cylinders.

Refer to the Appendix for hydraulic fitting tightening specifications.

1. Remove plugs from the hydraulic cylinder.
2. Install

a

steel

elbow fitting on the port of either of the two cylinders.

3. Attach steel T fitting to the port on the other cylinder.
4. Connect one end of the short hydraulic hose between one steel T fitting port,

and connect the remaining end to the elbow fitting on the other cylinder.

5. Connect

the

end

of the long hose to the remaining steel T fitting port.

6. Lay the long hose along the upper scissor frame and tube (Figure 3.31).
7. Secure the hydraulic hose along the top of the upper scissor and on the tube

using the welded hose clips.

8. Provide slack or a loop between each secured point.
9. Bend tops of welded clips over slightly to retain hose.
10. Connect ball valve to the boot using the ball valve bracket and two 1/4" x 3/4"

bolts and locknuts (Figure 3.32).

Do not make bends in hydraulic hose too tight. The bends must have a radius of
at least 4” to prevent failure of the hose.
