Detecting hydraulic fluid leaks is essential to
operational safety and good machine performance.
Undiscovered leaks can develop into hazardous
conditions, impair machine functions and damage
machine components.

Maintaining the hydraulic oil at the proper level is
essential to machine operation. Improper hydraulic
oil levels can damage hydraulic components. Daily
checks allow the inspector to identify changes in oil
level that might indicate the presence of hydraulic
system problems.
