Effects of Contamination

  • Shortened component and fluid life.
  • Reduced hydraulic system performance over time.
  • Possible catastrophic component failure leading to costly downtime and repairs.

Controlling Contamination

  • Check wiper seals and hoses for leaks to reduce contamination entry.
  • Before removing a component, clean the area surrounding it thoroughly.
  • Protect all assembled and bulk hoses with caps or plugs.
  • Always use high quality filters such as Caterpillar hydraulic oil filters.
  • Store all parts in their original packaging until you're ready to use them.
  • Perform regular fluid analysis to detect potential problems.
  • If you use bulk oil, make sure it's filtered both going into and out of the tank.
  • Protect tanks with proper filtered breathers.
