Maintaining Your Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system in machinery is like the "muscles and blood vessels" of a human. If the blood is poor, the muscles cannot function at full capacity. Similarly, if hydraulic oil degrades, the system becomes sluggish, slow, or develops severe issues like leaks and premature wear of pumps and valves.
Essential Maintenance Tasks:
1 Monitor Oil Levels - Always keep the oil within the manufacturer's recommended range.
2 Observe Oil Condition - Clear oil is healthy; cloudy, dark, or foamy oil indicates contamination or degradation.
3 Inspect for Leaks - Leaks not only drop pressure but also invite dirt into the sensitive system.
4 Regular Filter & Oil Changes - Don’t wait for the machine to show symptoms before taking action.
High-quality hydraulic oil must withstand high pressure, prevent wear, reduce foaming, and remain stable across temperature changes. Shell hydraulic oils are proven in heavy-duty applications to prevent deposits and extend machine life.
