ACTION REQUIRED
A new coupling design is now available for this application. This design will provide a longer service life. These couplings have a thicker wall to lessen the likelihood of cracking.
The two new hose assemblies are 329-2567 and 329-2568. The assembly instructions can be found in the Hydraulic Information System (HIS). In the event of a failure, replace both existing hose assemblies with the two new hose assemblies.
