SPQ13 Hydraulic Schimatics

This week I have learned a lot about hydraulic schematics symbols and how the schematics are not always right as demonstrated in class today. What got me at first was that I was not looking at the schematics like they could be wrong. After staring at the schematic confused for a few minutes. Jeff brought out a user manual that went with the schematics that helped me to understand the system better and how it worked. In the end the schematic was badly done and didn't show proper supply to the main pumps. So from now on I will not only rely on schematics supplied by the manufacture but also learn how to draw my drawn my own picture of the schematics and how it all works.

SPQ13 Hydraulics

This week I have learned a lot about hydraulics. I have learned all the different symbols for different parts on the schematics. One of the biggest things I have learned is the dangers involved in the hydraulic systems. You could have a high pressure oil puncture to the hydraulic system failing and a bucket or whatever the hydraulic system may be holding up can come smashing down quicker then you can react.
