Safety Guide & MSDS Statement
shutting down the hydraulic pump may or may not eliminate the pressure in the
Hose Assembly. Many times check valves, etc., are employed in a system and
can cause pressure to remain in a Hose Assembly even when pumps or equip-
ment are not operating. Tiny holes in the Hose, commonly known as pinholes,
can eject small, dangerously powerful but hard to see streams of hydraulic fuid.
It may take several minutes or even hours for the pressure to be relieved so that
the Hose Assembly may be examined safely.
Once the pressure has been reduced to zero, the HoseAssembly may be taken off
the equipment and examined. It must always be replaced if a failure has occurred.
Never attempt to patch or repair a Hose Assembly that has failed. Consult the
nearest Parker distributor or the appropriate Parker division for Hose Assembly
replacement information.
Never touch or examine a failed HoseAssembly unless it is obvious that the Hose
no longer contains fuid under pressure. The high pressure fuid is extremely
dangerous and can cause serious and potentially fatal injury.
4.7
Elastomeric seals: Elastomeric seals will eventually age, harden,
wear and deteriorate under thermal cycling and compression set. Elastomeric
seals should be inspected and replaced.
4.8
Refrigerant gases: Special care should be taken when working with
refrigeration systems. Sudden escape of refrigerant gases can cause blindness
if the escaping gases contact the eye and can cause freezing or other severe
injuries if it contacts any other portion of the body.
4.9
Compressed natural gas (CNG): Parker CNGHoseAssemblies should
be tested after installation and before use, and at least on a monthly basis per
ANSI/IAS NGV 4.2-1999; CSA 12.52-M99 Section 4.2 “Visual Inspection Hose/
Fitting”. The recommended procedure is to pressurize the Hose and check for
leaks and to visually inspect the Hose for damage.
Caution: Matches, candles, open fame or other sources of ignition shall not be
used for Hose inspection. Leak check solutions should be rinsed off after use.

HOSE STORAGE
5.1
Age Control: Hose and HoseAssemblies must be stored in a manner
that facilitates age control and frst-in and frst-out usage based on manufacturing
date of the Hose and Hose Assemblies. The shelf life of rubber Hose or Hose
Assemblies that have passed visual inspection and a proof test is 10 years
(40 quarters) from the date of manufacture. The shelf life of thermoplastic and
polytetrafuoroethylene Hose or Hose Assemblies is considered to be unlimited.
5.2
Storage: Stored Hose and Hose Assemblies must not be subjected
to damage that could reduce their expected service life and must be placed in a
cool, dark and dry area with the ends capped. Stored Hose and HoseAssemblies
must not be exposed to temperature extremes, ozone, oils, corrosive liquids or
fumes, solvents, high humidity, rodents, insects, ultraviolet light, electromagnetic
felds or radioactive materials.
