This virtual hydraulic excavator lets your drive, operate, explore the systems, maintain, and diagnose faults. It will help you to learn about fluid power safely and effectively. The program lets you operate drive, boom, and slew controls then explore the components that make them work. The best way to learn is by experimentation. It includes an example hydrostatic drive circuit with information and exercises that show you how to maintain and diagnose common faults.The full list of training routines includes:Operate the skid steer loader controlsExplore how the electro-hydraulic control systems workClosed-circuit hydrostatic steering drive systemOpen circuit direction slew motor controlOpen circuit proportional lift cylinder controlContamination entry points reviewDrag icons to show contamination entry pointsComponents sensitive to contamination reviewIdentify potential contamination failure pointsLeakage or flow loss points reviewIdentify potential leakage pointsHeat source, high-pressure drop reviewIdentify potential heat source pointsDangerous risk points reviewIdentify dangerous risk pointsAir ingress points reviewIdentify potential air ingress pointsLearn, Build, Maintain, Test, Diagnose a hydrostatic circuitLearn the main parts in a typical closed-circuit driveIdentify all pressure control valvesIdentify all flow control valvesIdentify all air and fluid filtersBuild a hydrostatic closed circuit systemLearn how to check and maintain componentsDrag icons to identify regular maintenance checksDrag icons to identify planned maintenance checksLearn how to set up and commission equipmentDiagnose 1 Noisy and inconsistent direction changesDiagnose 2 Slow drive performance and burning smellDiagnose 3 Poor drive performance and cracking noise
