Lack of maintenance of hydraulic systems is the leading cause of component and system failure, yet most maintenance personnel don’t understand proper maintenance techniques of a hydraulic system. The basic foundation to perform proper maintenance on a hydraulic system has two areas of concern. The first area is preventive maintenance, which is key to the success of any maintenance program whether in hydraulics or any equipment for which we need reliability. The second area is corrective maintenance, which in many cases can cause additional hydraulic
component failure when it is not performed to standard.
