Streamlined Hydraulic System Maintenance Protocol

Maintain and enhance your hydraulic systems effectively with our expert guidelines.

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the efficiency and durability of hydraulic systems. For components like piston pumps, a typical maintenance schedule might include a service interval every 10,000 hours or about 14 months.

Daily maintenance checks should focus on:

• The oil level and temperature in the power unit tanks.
• Detecting any contamination such as water or dirt in the oil.
• Checking for any system leaks and ensuring that screws, pipe clamps, and pressure gauges are properly secured.

• Cleaning the surfaces of pipes, components, and tanks to maintain cleanliness and prevent blockages.
• Engaging with operators to check if any specific maintenance is required and recording any reported issues in the service book.

Every six weeks, the following should be addressed:

• The condition of air filters and the necessity of replacing the filter element based on contamination indicators.
• Cleaning the hydraulic power unit and checking for any leaks in the piping connections.
• Tightening any loose connections to prevent leaks.

Biannual maintenance should include:

• Sending an oil sample to a laboratory for a comprehensive analysis to detect contaminants and wear.
• Checking and documenting any issues in the service book, focusing on recurring problems and requested maintenance.

Annual maintenance should ensure:

• The complete draining and cleaning of the power unit oil tank.
• The functionality check of all hydraulically actuated components.
• Coordinating with manufacturers or authorized service engineers for any necessary component servicing.
