5.2 Brake hoses/cables and lines
a Risk of accident
Work carried out incorrectly on the brake hoses, cables and lines may impair their function. This may lead to the failure of components or parts relevant to safety.
• Fuel and hydraulic lines and brake hoses must be covered or removed if necessary before carrying out any welding, drilling and grinding work and before working with cutting disks. • After installing fuel lines, hydraulic lines and brake hoses, the potentially affected system must be tested for pressure loss and leaks. • No other lines may be attached to brake hoses. • Lines must be protected from heat by means of appropriate insulation. • Line routing must be designed to prevent any pressure loss. Comply with all federal, state, and local regulations and codes.
