MOBILE EQUIPMENT HYDRAULICS

A Systems and Troubleshooting Approach
Ben Watson

Designed for the required course on hydraulics

found in diesel technology and heavy equipment
programs, MOBILE EQUIPMENT HYDRAULICS:
A SYSTEMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
APPROACH, takes a practical approach to the
understanding of fluid power / hydraulic systems.
Instead of concentrating on the design issues of fluid
power systems this book approaches hydraulics
more like a technician would to approach a system
that requires maintenance or troubleshooting.
Nearly all aspiring diesel technicians receive
training in this subject, which is one of seven areas
of study recognized by NATEF in diesel technology.
Coverage includes a study of terminology, industrial
standards, symbols and basic circuitry design as
related to fluid power. Examples are drawn from
actual equipment that is relevant to the program of
study, whether it be heavy truck, earth-moving, or
agricultural equipment.
FEATURES
Written in easy to understand language with
limited use of math to explain concepts and theory.
Written for the technician for whom hydraulic

TODAYS TECHNICIAN: ADVANCED

AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS, is
an extension of the popular Todays Technician
Series that covers all mechanical and electrical
systems of automobiles and light trucks. This book
is intended for a course in advanced automotive
electronic systems and is divided into two volumes:
a Classroom Manual and a Shop Manual that
separate cognitive and performance learning
objectives, respectively. The design is based on
features that are known to promote improved
student learning. The Classroom Manual contains
the principles of operation for the most advanced
electrical systems used today and covers design
variations of components used by the different
vehicle manufacturers. The book builds upon
basic facts and theories and will help develop
students knowledge through its extensive coverage
of component and system operation The Shop
Manual covers the diagnostic processes for proper
repairs and focuses more on the diagnostics of the
components used within a system than on how
to replace the component. The intent is to guide
your students thought processes toward finding
the root cause of the problem, concentrating their
attention on becoming a diagnostician and not a
parts changer. Your students will learn how to
develop a systematic approach to problem solving
in order to isolate the root cause of the problem,
thereby enhancing their ability to fix products right
the first time. Photo Sequences are used to illustrate
some of the common diagnostic procedures. Both
