Hydraulic Systems for Mobile Equipment 3e, Online Textbook
Hydraulic Systems for Mobile Equipment is the gold standard for hydraulics instruction, offering a comprehensive, single-source resource for introductory and advanced content. It begins by presenting the fundamentals of hydraulics and progresses logically to increasingly more complex systems, providing very detailed, high-level instruction for students studying to become professional mobile hydraulics service technicians. Dedicated to hydraulic systems training, this text goes into much greater detail than most books on the market, and also addresses variations between the systems used by different manufacturers. With a primary emphasis on off-road equipment and heavy trucks, including agricultural and construction machinery, it can also empower students working in any related field of hydraulics. The author provides a thorough explanation of systems and emphasizes proper diagnosis and service of those systems. The textbook is correlated to the competencies of the AED Hydraulics/Hydrostatics and Administrative/Safety Standards and the ASE Education Foundation Heavy Trucks Task List.
