Expected Learner Outcomes Upon completion of this course students will be able perform the following tasks safely on a hydraulic system. Describe the safety precautions to be applied when working on hydraulic systems and components. Identify and describe safety precautions to be applied when working on a hydraulic system fitted with an accumulator. Define different terms used in a hydraulic system. Identify graphic symbols for hydraulic components. Identify and state the function of a hydraulic reservoir and associated components. Identify and state the function of different types of hydraulic pumps. Identify and state the function of control valves. Identify and state the function of hydraulic actuators. Identify and state the function of different types of hydraulic filters. Identify and state the function of different hydraulic oils. Explain the importance of fluid analysis and sampling. Identify hydraulic components and describe flow in a simple hydraulic circuit. Identify and state the functions of seals and gaskets. Identify and state the functions of fittings and hoses. Identify and explain open and closed loop circuits. Explain and demonstrate basic troubleshooting steps when troubleshooting a hydraulic problem. Using proper tooling and handling practices. Demonstrate and explain how to set hydraulic pressures on equipment. Look up specifications using service manuals and or media services. Clean shop, tooling and equipment at end of each day. Including class room.
Measurement of Learner Outcomes (1) Written Examination – Students will be given a quiz at the completion of each section and a final exam at the end of the class. (2) Practical Evaluation – Students will be asked to show competence by kinesthetic demonstration. (3) Verbal – Students demonstrate competence by presenting oral presentations in groups and individually.
Students will be tested for knowledge and skill attainment through written tests comprised of questions taken from handouts, reading assignments, homework and lectures. Laboratory assessments will consist of practical demonstrations and verbal presentations. .
Method of Instruction A combination of lecture, discussion, demonstrations and film/video presentations will be used in the classroom training. Hands-on-training will be covered in the shop area on hydraulic trainer, using cut-a-way hydraulic components and disassembly of hydraulic components and CAT 420D backhoe.
