Perform Hydraulic Oil Analysis

Replacement or testing of the hydraulic oil is
essential for good machine performance and
service life. Dirty oil and a clogged suction strainer
may cause the machine to perform poorly and
continued use may cause component damage.
Extremely dirty conditions may require oil changes
to be performed more often.

January 2005
Before replacing the hydraulic oil,
the oil may be tested by an oil
distributor for specific levels of
contamination to verify that
changing the oil is necessary. If
the hydraulic oil is not replaced
at the two year inspection, test
the oil quarterly. Replace the
oil when it fails the test.
See E-1, Test or Replace the
Hydraulic Oil.
