Setup Instructions

1. Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the entire length of the hose for any signs of damage, cuts, abrasions, kinks, or bulges. Check fittings for secure attachment and integrity.
2. Compatibility: Ensure the hose material is compatible with the chemicals being transferred. Refer to chemical compatibility charts if unsure.
3. Connection: Securely attach the hose to the appropriate pumps, sprayers, or transfer systems using compatible fittings. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten.
4. Routing: Route the hose to avoid sharp bends, kinks, or areas where it might be pinched or abraded. Ensure there is sufficient slack to prevent strain on connections.
5. Pressure Check: Before full operation, perform a low-pressure test to check for leaks at connections and along the hose length. Gradually increase pressure to the desired operating level, ensuring it does not exceed the hose's maximum working pressure.

Operating Guidelines

• Working Pressure: Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of 800 psi at 70°F (21°C) or 300 psi at 122°F (50°C). Operating above these limits can lead to hose failure and injury.
• Temperature Range: Operate the hose within its specified temperature range. Extreme temperatures can affect hose performance and lifespan.
• Chemical Transfer: When transferring chemicals, ensure proper ventilation and personal protective equipment (PPE) are used as required by the chemical's safety data sheet (SDS).
• Avoid Kinking: Prevent the hose from kinking during operation, as this can cause damage to the hose structure and restrict flow.
• Sudden Pressure Changes: Avoid sudden pressure surges or drops, which can stress the hose and fittings.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, especially when transferring chemicals, flush the hose thoroughly with an appropriate cleaning agent or water to remove residues. Ensure the cleaning agent is compatible with the hose material.
• Drying: Allow the hose to dry completely before storage to prevent mildew or degradation.
• Storage: Store the hose in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and ozone-generating equipment. Coil the hose loosely to prevent kinks and store it flat or on a hose reel.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the hose for wear, cracks, cuts, bulges, or any signs of degradation. Pay close attention to areas near fittings. Replace the hose immediately if any damage is found.
