How to Inspect Your Hydraulic System:

 Maintaining your hydraulic system starts with regular inspections. Here are some tips for inspection, but make sure you consult your Operation and Maintenance Manual (OMM) for specifics about your equipment:
  1. Start the engine and listen carefully for noises like whining or grinding. This could indicate pump cavitation or a failed bearing.
  2. Shut down the machine and release hydraulic pressure. But before continuing your inspection, make sure components have had time to cool off.
  3. As you walk around the machine, check sight gauges to see if you need to add any fluids and replace any loose or damaged hose clamps.
  4. Look around the steering and brake valves and hydraulic pump for leaks and damaged hoses.
  5. Inspect the oil cooler and condenser lines for leaks and worn hoses, and make sure the fan motor connection points are free of leaks.
  6. Check for damage to cylinder rods, linkage pins or joints.
 
If you see anything concerning during the inspection, it’s time to service your equipment.  
Remember: Check your OMM for proper safety procedures, and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
