hose mounting points or alignment may result in reduced
clearance and cause wearing of major brake components.
Renew any damaged parts before using the vehicle.

and are not near any body or chassis components.
The front and rear brake hoses must not rub, chafe, or rest against the body or chassis or body parts. There must be a clearance between
full retraction, full extension and full engagement under all operating conditions.
Brake lines shall not be used to support or secure other components.
