manual
(174 page course
book)
This manual serves as a guide
for personnel who operate and maintain equipment
using hydraulic-powered control systems. It
includes general information covering basic
hydraulics and describes the properties and
characteristics of fluids and several types of
pumps, motors, valves, and controls. This manual
also deals with piping, tubing, and hoses used
to convey fluid under pressure. It describes the
functions and types of reservoirs, strainers,
filters, and accumulators. It discusses the
purposes and types of seals and packings used in
fluid power systems.
