BASIC HYDRAULICS
Purpose
This course is designed to give participants the knowledge and practical
skills required to operate and maintain hydraulic systems. The course
contains power point displays with animations to show how parts work.
A manual is also provided with detailed illustrations, circuit diagrams,
and troubleshooting guides for reference in the field.
At the end of each module there is a small assessment section,
which helps monitor the progress of each student.
This course is applicable to a wide range of industries
and is designed for those involved in the operation and maintenance of
hydraulic systems.
Pre requisite
There are no pre requisites for this course, however, previous knowledge
will reduce the course duration in some cases.
