A detailed Hydromotor DAILY preventive maintenance Inspection checklist

1. Visual Inspection

2. Lubrication and Fluid Levels

  • Locate the hydraulic fluid reservoir.
  • Use a dipstick or sight gauge to check the level.
  • Ensure the level is between the minimum and maximum indicators.
  • Add fluid if below the recommended level.
  • Identify all designated grease points on the hydromotor.
  • Use a grease gun to apply lubricant.
  • Ensure grease is filling the cavity without over-lubricating.
  • Wipe off excess grease to prevent dirt accumulation.
  • Remove the oil dipstick or drain plug.
  • Examine the oil color and clarity.
  • Look for any visible dirt, debris, or water.
  • Replace oil if signs of contamination are present.
  • Locate the hydraulic fluid filters.
  • Inspect the exterior for dirt or damage.
  • Remove filters if necessary and clean or replace.
  • Ensure proper installation after inspection.
  • Visually inspect all hoses and fittings.
  • Look for signs of fluid pooling or discoloration.
  • Check seals for wear or deformities.
  • Tighten fittings or replace hoses as needed.
  • Examine hoses for surface wear or fraying.
  • Check for cracks that may indicate weakness.
  • Look for bulges or swelling in the hoses.
  • Replace any compromised hoses immediately.
  • Refer to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Check the fluid label for compatibility.
  • Ensure fluid meets viscosity requirements.
  • Replace with the approved type if necessary.
  • Use a temperature gauge to check fluid temperature.
  • Compare the reading with acceptable operating temperatures.
  • Look for overheating signs and investigate causes.
  • Adjust system operations if necessary to cool fluid.
  • Check the reservoir for cracks or leaks.
  • Look for signs of rust or corrosion.
  • Ensure all connections are secure.
  • Replace or repair any damaged components.
  • Check the fluid level using the dipstick.
  • Add hydraulic fluid as needed to reach the proper level.
  • Ensure fluid is poured slowly to avoid spills.
  • Secure the reservoir cap after topping off.
  • Identify all additional lubricant reservoirs.
  • Inspect levels and top off as necessary.
  • Check for contamination or degradation.
  • Replace any degraded lubricants promptly.
  • Inspect lubrication points for obstructions.
  • Clean the area around each point to prevent contamination.
  • Ensure safety guards are removed if applicable.
  • Use appropriate tools to access hard-to-reach points.
  • Document the date and time of maintenance.
  • Note the type and amount of fluid added or replaced.
  • Include any observations or issues found.
  • Ensure logs are updated accurately for future reference.
