Hydraulice Line Size

Can someone tell me the sizing of the hydraulic lines going to the dump cylinder on a X1100C?

Looking at the 2015 vintage WSM the Hydraulic Control Valve (which activates the lift cyl) generates 1820 to 1950 psi @ 3000 rpm. Need lines capable of handling that range. Maby knowing this, plus, measuring the existing hose dia's will help. I cannot find any info on the actual hose sizes in the WSM.
 
Hose ”sizes” are usually I.D., and the size has “some” relevance to pressures, but not at the typical pressures hydraulic systems operate (2K-3K).... size has more influence on VOLUME of fluid passed. A 3/8” I.D. Hose will actuate a small cylinder too rapidly for most purposes...and a 1/4” I.D. Will be slow to operate a large cylinder.... because of the volume of fluid pumped. The PRESSURE of the fluid affects the force-applied (As does the cylinder-piston surface area,...which is why a cylinder has more force in one direction than it can apply in the opposite, because the Rod takes up some of the piston surface area the side of the rod will have less work-capability.)
