Securing the Hydraulic Hoses
Once the Hydraulic Pump has been bled, the Hydraulic Hoses should be set for their final hose routings. It is important to secure hoses
to ensure that the hose routings remain clean and maintained for safe operation. Minn Kota recommends securing the Hydraulic Hoses
with tie wraps along the hose routings.
• Periodically inspect hoses for signs of wear or damage. Operation of the Raptor system with a worn or damaged hydraulic hose may
cause damage, unexpected operation or injury.
• In the event a hydraulic hose ruptures, bursts or becomes disconnected during operation, immediately shut off power at the pump
assembly and manually relieve pressure in the hydraulic system using the manual bypass valves.
• Do not grasp a leaking pressurized hose with your hands. Do not feel for hydraulic leaks with your hands. The force of escaping
hydraulic fluid can cause serious injury.

a.
Begin by examining the Hydraulic Hoses between
the Raptor and the entry point on the boat. Where
necessary place a Tie Wrap to secure any loose hose.
NOTICE:
Review the mounting consideration at
the beginning of the installation instructions for
recommendations on Hydraulic Hose routings.
b.
Follow the hose routing along the established route on
the boat. Secure the Hydraulic Hoses so they can be
maintained within the intended routing.
c.
Follow the Hydraulic Hoses all the way back to the
Hydraulic Pump and use a Tie Wrap to secure the
Hydraulic Hoses any place necessary.
