Staff involved in the maintenance or design of industrial and mobile hydraulic systems. A prior knowledge of the function and operation of hydraulic components and circuitry would be advantageous.
Entry Requirements:
Candidates should have attended our Stage 1 Hydraulics training course and have a good understanding of modern hydraulic systems and components also able to deal with formulae and calculations.
Course Aims:
To give a thorough understanding of basic principles and their application, thereby enabling candidates to analyse associated symptoms and logically diagnose faults.
To provide the opportunity for candidates to apply skills associated with "Fault - Cause - Remedy" on a working system.
To ensure that safe working procedures are followed at all times and that all activities are correctly planned from start to finish.
Course Outline:
Refresher - basic hydraulic principles, circuitry and symbols.
Maintenance procedures and management of systems.
FCR (Fault - Cause - Remedy) approach to fault diagnosis and rectification.
Safe working practices.
Prior planning and preparation - development of step by step procedures to produce optimum performance.
Use of instrumentation to diagnose faults and identify change.
Practical 'hands-on' sessions, fault finding on hydraulic circuitry and associated aspects of control.
Leading to:
Certificate of attendance.
This course provides an excellent foundation for those wishing to gain a BFPA qualification.
Notes:
During the course, candidates are given the opportunity to discuss their own system problems with the tutor (bring along your own circuit diagrams).
