- Use a "whip-check" securing system over the connection points when using any soft line hose over 6.5 feet in length on hydraulic systems operating at a pressure greater than 100 psig - this includes soft line hoses connected to steel piping.
- Make sure all hydraulic hoses, including new and repaired hoses, and those being fabricated on site, are integrity tested.
- Check all hoses for appropriate pressure ratings and that they are suitable for the intended service or product.
