Course Overview
Overview

This course is designed to teach the system operations and the testing
and adjusting procedures for the pilot operated hydraulic system, the
load sensing, pressure compensated (LSPC) hydraulic system, the
electro-hydraulic system and the hydrostatic system. Students will
identify the system components, state the component function and
trace the oil flow through the component. Students will also identify
the different systems, trace the oil flow through the systems and state
the systems operation. When given the appropriate Service Manual
and machine, students will conduct the testing and adjusting
procedures as stated in the manual.
This course was developed using materials designed for the 928G
Wheel Loader, the 950G Wheel Loader, the 906 Wheel Loader and
the 953/953B/953C Track Loaders. However, the testing and
adjusting exercises may be done on any machine with a simular
hydraulic system.
Always use the Service Manual for the machine being tested and/or
adjusted.

Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the students will be able to:

1. Identify the components in the pilot operated hydraulic system,

the load sensing, pressure compensated hydraulic system, the
electro-hydraulic system and the hydrostatic system.
2. State the systems operation of the pilot operated hydraulic
system, the load sensing, pressure compensated hydraulic
system, the electro-hydraulic system and the hydrostatic system.
3. Trace the oil flow and state the systems operation for all modes
of the pilot operated hydraulic system, the load sensing, pressure
compensated hydraulic system, the electro-hydraulic system and
the hydrostatic system.
4. Perform the testing and adjusting procedures on the 928G Wheel
Loader [pilot operated hydraulic system (implements) and the
load sensing, pressure compensated hydraulic system (steering)],
the 950G Wheel Loader (electro-hydraulic implement system
and fan drive system) and the 906 Wheel Loader and 953C Track
Loaders (hydrostatic system).
