LEVEL II
2 DAY
$1295
INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSE
 
Learn to:
 
Interpret typical crane schematics
Describe sub-circuit features
Conduct very basic and safe system tests
Interpret manufacturers fluid cleanliness requirements
Follow correct system maintenance and setup procedures
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?
