Drive, operate, explore, maintain, and diagnose the hydraulic system on this mobile skid-steer excavator simulation. It will help you to learn about fluid power safely and effectively. The program lets you operate the wheel drives, boom, and slew controls then explore the components that make them work. It includes an example hydrostatic drive circuit with information and exercises that show you how to maintain and diagnose common faults. The best way to learn is by experimentation.
The full list of training routines includes:
Operate the skid steer loader controls
Explore how the electro-hydraulic control systems work
Closed-circuit hydrostatic steering drive system
Open circuit direction slew motor control
