- Check for signs of excessive wear.
- Ensure isolators are securely attached.
- Look for any misalignment or movement.
- Wipe down the exterior with a clean cloth.
- Use appropriate cleaning agents for stubborn grime.
- Avoid using high-pressure water directly on components.
- Inspect filters for cleanliness and replace if necessary.
- Check the alignment with a straight edge or laser tool.
- Look for signs of wear on coupling components.
- Ensure that drive shafts are straight and properly connected.
- Make necessary adjustments to maintain alignment.
- Inspect the casing for any unusual colors.
- Look for burn marks or blistering paint.
- Check temperature sensors for correct operation.
- Ensure cooling systems are functioning properly.
3. Fluid Levels and Quality
- Locate the reservoir and check the fluid level indicator.
- If below the minimum mark, add the recommended hydraulic fluid.
- Use a clean funnel to prevent contamination during refilling.
- Replace the reservoir cap securely after inspection.
- Retrieve a sample of the fluid from the reservoir.
- Visually inspect for discoloration or floating particulates.
- If contamination is present, consider fluid replacement.
- Document findings for future reference.
- Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for viscosity requirements.
- Use a viscosity gauge to measure the fluid's thickness.
- If viscosity is outside the acceptable range, replace the fluid.
- Ensure that the fluid temperature is suitable for viscosity checks.

- Inspect hoses and fittings for wetness or fluid accumulation.
- Check for cracks, wear, or loose connections.
- Tighten any loose fittings as necessary.
- Report any significant leaks for immediate repair.
- Locate the hydraulic fluid filter and remove it carefully.
- Inspect for dirt and debris accumulation.
- Clean the filter using appropriate cleaning solutions or replace if damaged.
- Reinstall the filter securely to prevent leaks.
- Use pH test strips or a meter to measure fluid pH.
- Compare results to the manufacturer's recommended pH range.
- If pH is outside acceptable limits, consider fluid replacement.
- Record the pH level for maintenance logs.
- Use a thermometer or temperature gauge to measure fluid temperature.
- Compare the reading to the manufacturer's specified range.
- If temperature is too high, check for cooling issues.
- Document the temperature reading in the maintenance log.
- Examine all seals and gaskets for cracks or deformation.
- Check for any signs of fluid leaks around these components.
- Replace any damaged seals or gaskets immediately.
- Ensure proper installation to maintain fluid integrity.
- Use a water content test kit to sample the hydraulic fluid.
- Follow kit instructions to determine water levels.
- If contamination is detected, address the source immediately.
- Document results for future maintenance tracking.
- Access maintenance records for previous fluid changes.
- Determine if the fluid replacement schedule is being followed.
- Plan for fluid changes based on usage and manufacturer guidelines.
- Record any changes to the schedule in maintenance logs.
