CNHI 1223 — Hydraulic Systems Diagnostics 3 Credit Hours
This course is designed to understand hydraulic systems operation, test- ing, adjustment, maintenance, and repair procedures for pilot operated hydraulic systems, load sensing pressure compensated hydraulic systems, electro-hydraulic systems, and hydrostatic systems specific to agricultural and construction equipment. The student will learn the ability to identify the different systems and components, trace the oil flow through the systems, discuss their operation and application, and troubleshoot live hydraulic systems. Introduction to use of on-board diagnostic systems, flow meters, pressure gauges/ transducers, and hydraulic schematics to diagnose hydraulic system malfunctions.
