Describe safety valve components and functions on outriggers, booms and winches
Think and act in a safe and logical way when the system goes down
Hydraulic systems are safety critical on cranes. Trained technicians and operators make all the difference in ensuring reliability and long system life.
This course is designed to be the first step in rigorous hydraulics training for mobile hydraulic crane operators and maintenance personnel. Participants come away from this highly concentrated course with a solid understanding of hydraulic principles and component functions. Analysis and troubleshooting skills are taught with schematic simulations from typical mobile crane systems.
The Ten Step Troubleshooting Process is taught with the goal of eliminating the hit and miss methods. Safety is stressed along with sound maintenance and reliability practices. This two-day course is taught with circuit simulation software, typical crane schematics, and through instructor guided hands-on study of individual hydraulic components.
Day One: Operators & Mechanics
Winch Circuits
Objective: Explain the feature of typical crane winch circuits
Activity: Identify typical crane winch features on the schematic
Learn about features that prevent runaways and excessive line pulls
Slewing Circuit
Objective: Explain slewing circuit functions
Activity: Identify slewing components for normal function and boom dolly towing
Keep the slewing circuit in top condition
Boom Lift Circuit
Objective: Explain valving and safety features to lift and lock the boom
Activity: Trace out flow and pressure controls for the boom lift circuit
Find out how critical it is to keep the fluid clean
Outriggers
Objective: Explain outrigger circuit functions
Activity: Fully analyze the critical function of the lock valves
Find out how important clean oil is to keeping a crane upright
Safety
Objective: List common hydraulic hazards and safe procedures
Think before you act - a few hundred PSI (or less) can injure or kill!
Preventative Maintenance
Objective: Describe preventative maintenance procedures
Activity: Identify maintenance tasks and frequencies for hydraulic cranes
Avoid "run-to-failure" with good maintenance and planning
Day Two: Mechanics
Theory and Design
Objective: Explain the principals of hydraulics that affect troubleshooting
Activity: Predict fluid behavior in various crane systems
Map out flow paths for faster troubleshooting
Hydraulic Pumps
Objective: Compare and explain the principles of various hydraulic pumps
Activity: Internal damage inspection and analysis of hydraulic fluid selections
Pump control mechanisms and load sensing features covered
Actuators
Objective: List procedures to diagnose common problems in actuators.
Activity: Motor and cylinder fault diagnosis
Find out why motor problems show up at slow speeds
Valves
Objective: Identify valve designs and diagnose common problems.
Activity: Valve disassembly, inspection and reassembly
Diagnose valve problems accurately - Is it mechanical or electrical?
