What this sheet is for
Know which hose is which, what is printed on it and when it was last looked at. A worn hose is then changed in the yard rather than bursting on the job.
Who it is for
Farmers, contractors, plant and machinery owners, and mechanics looking after tractors, loaders, diggers, tippers and splitters.
How to use it
- Tag each hose with a number and map it once: where it runs, its size and specification as printed on it, and its fittings.
- Inspect with the pressure released, and fill a line per hose looked at.
- Mark each hose to monitor or to replace, and act on the replacements.
- When a hose is replaced, record the new one's details and the leak check after fitting.
What is on the sheet
2 pages, in this order:
Page 1
Printed under the title: Every hydraulic hose on one machine numbered and mapped once, then each inspection hose by hose and every replacement with its specification, so a failing hose is changed before it bursts.
Pressure off, hands off. Inspect with the engine off, attachments lowered and the pressure released as the machine's manual says. Never run a hand along a hose to find a leak: fluid under pressure can go through skin. No pressures, sizes or replacement intervals are printed; copy the specification from the hose's own printing or the parts book.

Questions
Why is there no replacement interval?
Because hose life depends on the hose, the pressure, the heat and how it is routed, and makers and machine builders set their own guidance. The sheet records what each inspection found, which is what tells you a hose is going.
How should a leak be looked for?
With the pressure released as the machine's manual says, by eye and with a piece of card held near the hose. Never with a hand: a pinhole leak under pressure can put fluid through skin.
