PROBLEM

Show/hide table
The existing boom cylinder hose assemblies can fail on certain 305.5 Mini Hydraulic Excavators. The hose assemblies can leak in the area of the P-Clips that are used to fix the hose assemblies in place at the bottom mounting for the boom cylinder. If the existing boom cylinder hose assemblies fail, they can be replaced with new hose assemblies and an improved clamping arrangement.
