8-4. Cannibalization. This section explains how to cannibalize hydraulic lines from other equipment

or within the same equipment.

Limitations:

Conduit cannibalization will limit hydraulic capabilities of the cannibalized equipment.

Personnel/Time Required:

1 soldier - 1.0 hr.

Materials/Tools:

Tool Kit

For Hoses Only: Replacement hoses for damaged

high-pressure hoses must be of the high-pressure

type. Low-pressure hoses may explode under high

pressure causing equipment failure and/or operator

injury.

Procedural Steps:

a. Determine the fitting type and length of the damaged line.

b. Locate an acceptable substitute for the damaged line. Make sure all size specifications for

the replacement line match the damaged line exactly.

NOTE

For Hose and Tubes: Fitting types for a correspond-

ing line must be of the exact same thread type as

those of the damaged line.
