Am hooking up new hoses and cannot figure where high pressure and low pressure hoses go account the input fittings are same on the box. Thank all for the answer to this vexing question. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 698 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 698 | They may look the same but if it's the stock gear box, they are different.

Also, the high pressure and low return line, have different size fittings, so they can not be switched.

best wishes,
