Mobile Equipment Hydraulics A Systems and Troubleshooting Approach
Mobile Equipment Hydraulics A Systems and Troubleshooting Approach
Mobile Equipment Hydraulics A Systems and Troubleshooting Approach Designed for the required course on hydraulics found in diesel technology and heavy equipment programs, takes a practical approach to the understanding of fluid power / hydraulic systems. Instead of concentrating on the design issues of fluid power systems this book approaches hydraulics more like a technician would to approach a system that requires maintenance or troubleshooting. Nearly all aspiring diesel technicians receive training in this subject, which is one of seven areas of study recognized by NATEF in diesel technology. Coverage includes a study of terminology, industrial standards, symbols and basic circuitry design as related to fluid power. Examples are drawn from actual equipment that is relevant to the program of study, whether it be heavy truck, earth-moving, or agricultural equipment.

The Modern Diesel Technology (MDT) series has been developed to address a need for modern, system specific text-books in the field of truck and heavy equipment technology. This focused approach gives schools more flexibility in designing programs that target specific ASE certifications. Because each textbook in the series focuses exclusively on the competencies identified by its title, the series is an ideal review and study vehicle for technicians prepping for certification examinations.
The design of the book recognizes the fact that for most ‘‘truck mechanics,’’ making diagnoses and repairing fluid power systems will be only a small part of their overall job experience.
