A detailed Hydromotor MONTHLY preventive maintenance Inspection checklist
1. Visual Inspection
2. Fluid Levels and Quality
- Locate the hydraulic fluid reservoir.
- Use a dipstick or sight gauge to check the fluid level.
- If low, add the appropriate hydraulic fluid slowly until the correct level is reached.
- Ensure no spills occur during the refill process.
- Visually assess the fluid's color and clarity.
- Look for any visible particulates or sediment.
- Use a clean cloth to wipe the dipstick for better inspection.
- Document any signs of contamination for further action.
- Check the fluid for a burnt smell or unusual color.
- If degraded, drain the old fluid completely.
- Flush the system with clean fluid if necessary.
- Fill with new, suitable hydraulic fluid and check levels.
- Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the correct fluid type.
- Check the label of the fluid container to confirm compatibility.
- Ensure that the fluid meets industry standards.
- Document any discrepancies or corrections needed.

3. Operational Checks
- Engage the hydromotor in its usual operational mode.
- Allow it to run for a minimum of 15 minutes.
- Observe performance metrics during this period.
- Pay attention to grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds.
- Identify the source of any abnormal sounds.
- Document any findings for further inspection.
- Use a calibrated thermometer to measure temperature.
- Compare readings with manufacturer specifications.
- Note any deviations from acceptable temperature ranges.
- Place a hand on the hydromotor housing to feel vibrations.
- Use a vibration meter if available for precision.
- Document any irregularities for future reference.
