The majority of this course is based on practical exercises. This gives the individual a good understanding of the components themselves, and of their functions within a system. Throughout the exercises, we are testing components and evaluating the need for repair and then discussing repair possibilities, methods and actions. Often highlighting safe working methods, referring to industrial catalogues and standards and demonstrating the need and use of service records. This course gives any maintenance technician a good grounding in oil hydraulic systems, and in the methods of repair.
You will cover:
Learning about hydraulic system components with catalogues
Identification, inspection and testing of components
Understanding components characteristics
Assessment of performance against specifications
Localising components and system faults
Repair and/or replacement of faulty components
Selection of appropriate repair and/or replacements
Re-assembly and testing of components against specifications
Writing and maintaining service reports and records
Note that HYDAC Basic Hydraulics 1 course or equivalent is the prerequisite for this course.

Basic Hydraulics 1
Hi Paul,
I would just like to thank you for providing the training we have just taken part in.
This is exactly what we need in many applications at Worsley (South32) and has been beyond educational.
The course was engaging, informative and well-structured and delivered.
Looking forward to hydraulics II next week!
Kind Regards,
Kylie

Maintain Hydraulics 2
In this course, we studied the repair process of hydraulic components and systems, as well as the understanding of how failures occur. It also teaches us the approach one may take to rectify the issues. What's more, this course was delivered effectively while being highly enjoyable.

Hi Paul
I have done several hydraulic courses over the past decade or so and I am delighted to say your course stands out to be best in the following:
1. Your presentations and PowerPoint are well organised.
2. Your practical bench test and presentations on the hydraulic training rig represent real life situations in the mining industry.
3. You are very knowledgeable with diverse experience across different industries.
Well done mate.I am not hesitant to recommend your Training course ...
Maintain Hydraulics 3
The pump controls and pressure sequencing information were very interesting and I particularly enjoyed all the calculations of the hydraulic motor. As a service technician, all aspects of this course are relevant to my work.
Basic Hydraulics 1
With this course, it was easy to understand everything! It's very easy to follow, step by step, the instructions and lessons given during the course. I think that the instructor is very kind, possesses high skills and know-how to easily share his knowledge with his students. We learnt things like safety in relation to hydraulic circuits and reading schematic drawings.
Custom Course (AGCO)
This course taught me how the system actually works, not just what it does. It will make repairing and diagnosing much easier.
