A detailed Hydromotor MONTHLY preventive maintenance Inspection checklist
1. Visual Inspection
2. Fluid Levels and Quality
- Open the reservoir cap carefully.
- Use a dipstick or sight glass to check fluid level.
- Ensure fluid is at the recommended level as per the manual.
- Add hydraulic fluid if levels are low.
- Visually examine the fluid for any particulates.
- Check for color changes indicating contamination.
- Smell the fluid for any unusual or burnt odors.
- Document any findings for further evaluation.
- Use a viscosity gauge to measure fluid viscosity.
- Check the temperature with a thermometer.
- Compare viscosity and temperature with manufacturer specifications.
- Adjust the system as necessary to maintain proper conditions.
- Follow safety procedures before draining fluid.
- Drain the old fluid completely from the reservoir.
- Replace with new hydraulic fluid that meets specifications.
- Dispose of old fluid according to local regulations.
