That's why regular maintenance and taking proper care your hydraulic parts is more vital than ever. You can't get away with running a hydraulic machine constantly for weeks and months without efficiently monitoring how it's performing.

Here are the six key things to keep in mind when checking your hydraulic machinery:

1) Check the cleanliness of the fluid
2) Check the viscosity and temperature of the fluid
3) Keep the hydraulic system as closely as you can to the specifications of the original manufacturer
4) Have a clear schedule for changing out and replacing parts to ensure it gets carried out before anything fails
5) Commissioning procedures must be followed to the tee
6) Carry out failure analysis as often as possible.
