Lay the hose straight or in wide curves to maintain flow efficiency.
- Secure the connection
To make sure the secure connections between the hose and coupling.
- Inspect Before Use
Check for cracks, abrasions, or leaks—especially at couplings.
Avoid using damaged hoses; even small tears can worsen under pressure.
