Workshop Preparation

You send us a copy of your original hydraulic schematics, pictures of the hydraulic components and we take it from there. 

A troubleshooting manual and P.M. checklist is developed from your schematics. In the manual you will find a complete description of each hydraulic component on the machine and troubleshooting tips. You will have colorized flow charts which integrate the electrics and the hydraulics together. The manual and P.M. can be used for future troubleshooting purposes when problems occur.

About The Workshop 

It takes1-2 days to teach one machine. This workshop can be 3 or more days in length depending on the number of machines that you want to be included in the workshop.

Students identifying and tagging their hydraulic components.

• 5-6 hours of classroom time is spent teaching the student the function of each component, how to troubleshoot each component, reading the hydraulic schematic, troubleshooting from the schematic and learning the machine cycles.

• 1-2 hours is spent on the machine identifying, locating and tagging each component. The students also:

• Set pressures.

• Check for pump wear.

• Make various heat tests.

• Identify the causes of leaks.

• Record other machine specific P.M. information.

• Return back to the classroom and review the P.M. and answer any additional questions.

What The Students Learn

• Hydraulic Safety.

• How to troubleshoot each component.

• Reading and troubleshooting from the hydraulic schematic.

• The basic function of each component on their hydraulic system.

• How to determine if the pump is bad before it is changed.

• A step by step pressure setting procedure that will reduce heat, shock and leakage.

• The right and wrong methods of increasing the speed of the machine.

• The specific preventive maintenance checks that need to be done to determine component wear and by-passing.

• The three tests that can be performed to determine if the pump is bad before it is changed.
