Working on Systems with Accumulators:
Maintenance or work on systems containing accumulators should only be performed once fluid pressure has been fully released.
Regular Inspections:
Automotive Lift Repair Tampa Florida Hydraulic systems should undergo simple, frequent inspections at regular intervals. Some systems may already feature partial automatic monitoring. Key areas to inspect include:
– Oil level in the tank
– Operating temperature, which should not exceed 60ºC
– Fluid condition (visual inspection of color and smell)
– Working pressures
– Gas pre-charge pressure in the accumulator
– Leaks in pumps, valves, and pipelines
– Cleanliness of filter elements (refer to the section on ‘Filter’)
– Hoses, inspected based on condition and age
– Functionality of mechanical and electronic sensors
– All system components for damage
– General cleanliness
– Safety equipment and labels
Oil Changes:
The frequency of oil changes depends on:
– Type of fluid (aging process)
– Filtration quality
– Operating and environmental conditions (especially temperature)
Recommended Oil Change Intervals:
Maintaining the required cleanliness class per ISO 4406 or NAS 1638 is critical for Automotive Lift Repair Tampa Florida hydraulic components. Careful planning for filtration and regular fluid inspections are necessary to ensure the longevity of pumps and other equipment. Under optimal conditions, oil change intervals can be extended, and in some cases, may be unnecessary based on laboratory test results. We recommend consulting with reputable oil or filter suppliers for fluid testing services. Regular inspection of breather filters is also mandatory.

Did you know that most machines rely on Automotive Lift Repair Tampa Florida hydraulics? The term “hydraulics” is derived from the Greek words hydor (water) and aulos (hose), forming hydraulikos, which refers to the transfer of energy and information using fluids, typically oil.
Principle of Hydraulic Operation:
When a liquid is contained in a closed system and subjected to pressure, that pressure is evenly distributed throughout the fluid. Since liquids cannot be compressed, hydraulic systems utilize fluid pressure to perform mechanical work.
Types of Hydraulic Systems:
There are two main types of hydraulic systems: single-acting and double-acting.
– In a single-acting Automotive Lift Repair Tampa Florida hydraulic system, one pump powers all hydraulic cylinders. The valves are connected in parallel, allowing all cylinders to operate simultaneously.
– In a double-acting hydraulic system, one pump (or circuit pump) is connected to the left control valve, while another is connected to the right control valve. Double-acting systems are faster and easier to work with.
Automotive Lift Repair Tampa Florida Hydraulic systems transform primary energy into hydraulic energy (pressure medium), transmit that energy from a generator (primary converter) to a motor (secondary converter), and finally convert it into mechanical work in machines. Hydraulic systems are essential components of your machine or device.
Hydraulic Hoses:
To ensure your machine operates efficiently, high-quality hydraulic hoses and connectors are vital. Hydraulic hoses transfer oil between components, and they come in two main types:
– Metal hoses (made of steel)
– Flexible hoses (made of rubber)
Understanding the proper use of hydraulic hoses is key to maximizing their effectiveness in an Automotive Lift Repair Tampa Florida hydraulic system.
To maintain the optimal performance of your machine, it’s crucial to regularly service the hydraulic systems and hoses.

– No contamination such as weld slag, metal chips, or dirt should be present.
2. Tube Bore:
– Free of burrs in drilled holes, ports, and threads.
– Inner diameter finish should be smooth and scratch-free.
3. Rods:
– Wipe clean, ensuring no dings, pits, or surface scratches.
– Free from splatter.
4. Welds:
– Uniform, solid, and free from porosity, inclusions, or undercutting.
– No splatter or slag present.
5. Seals:
– Visually check for contamination or unusual conditions.
– Refer to the assembly drawing for correct positioning and orientation.
– Ensure installation tools have no sharp edges to avoid seal damage.
1. Barrels / Tubes:
– Properly position cylinder tubes in the wash tank.
– Inspect barrels for burrs in port holes and at the mouth, deburring as necessary.
– Clean the ports with Scotch-brite or a similar material, ensuring the outer surface is free from carbon and slag.
– Rinse the inside of the tubes with cleaning detergent, ensuring complete saturation.
– Brush the inside with the appropriate-sized brush.
– Blow out the tubes using an airline and proper wand, ensuring the wand doesn’t leave scratches.
– Wipe the inside of the tube with a clean rag, blowing off particles after each wipe.
– Blow out the barrel again, including ports and threads, checking for contamination.
– Once cleaned, immediately move barrels to the assembly area.
– Wrap the barrel to protect it from contamination until assembly.
2. Cylinder Rods:
– Clean thoroughly with a lint-free rag, paying special attention to welded joints.
3. Pistons, Glands, Caps, etc.:
– Place these parts in the parts washer track.
– Release Emergency Stops on the main panel and conveyor.
– If necessary, press the green system start button.
– Activate all stages by pulling green buttons.
– First and second stage tanks should be at approximately 140°F.
– After the cycle, air-dry parts using an airline.
– Check if parts are clean; rewash if necessary.
1. Rod Assembly:
– Secure the rod in the fixture and wipe the surface clean.
– Oil seals with the correct brush.
– Carefully slide the gland onto the rod, avoiding seal damage.
– Slide the piston onto the rod as per the drawing orientation.
– Double-check the installation.
– Use the specified nut or bolt from the drawing, applying oil or Loctite.
– Tighten with an impact gun and proper socket, securing the nut or bolt onto the rod.
– Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to the specified torque per the drawing.
– Apply oil to the seals around the piston and gland.
– Oil the inside of the tube opening.
– Oiling the seals helps ease rod placement into the tube and prevents seal damage.
