  • Page 94: Check For Hydraulic Leaks

    5 - MAINTENANCE Daily Check For Hydraulic Leaks Although a leak may seem minor, it can lead to excessive maintenance and operational costs, poor performance, a lack of reliability, and accelerated component wear. Tracking down the source of a leak (whether it is internal or external) can be difficult, but doing so will save unnecessary expenses later on.
