Hydraulic Issues To Look Out For
You can come across many issues with your hydraulics, especially if you don’t check them often. Here are some of the most common issues to keep an eye out for.
- Air contamination – make sure too much air doesn’t enter your system and contaminate the hydraulic fluid.
- Fluid contamination – ensure the fluid is at a consistent level and well maintained.
- Unusual levels of noise.
- A reduction in performance such as working a lot slower than usual.
- Human error. This could be down to:
- Faulty installation.
- Incompatible parts.
- Improper maintenance.
