• Contaminated oil causes 70 percent of all hydraulic system failures.

• Oil analysis is a proven predictive and preventive maintenance tool.
• Good filtration is an essential part of a comprehensive and effective oil analysis program.

The multicheck fluid analysis program offered through Besser provides insight into the current condition of your hydraulic systems. Testing the hydraulic oil in each piece of equipment, (contained in the reservoirs for the Multi-Spade Besser-Matic, LSC-40 Car and Crawler and the Cuber) will determine the condition of the oil. This type of analysis is a proven predictive and preventive maintenance tool. Continuing with the testing at predetermined intervals will provide historical data that can be tracked and used for determining when the oil should be completely replaced.

The test kit contains forms which require you to record information such as the date the sample was taken, the sample number and how many hours the oil and filter have been in service. The company performing the tests will send a complete, easy to read report about the sample including particle counts, viscosity, wear metal and additive content, and a diagnostic statement. The report also contains:

• A graph of the actual ISO cleanliness and a plot of the target system cleanliness.
• Historical system analysis of the last four fluid samples, (after this information is obtained).

Order the fluid analysis kit, Besser part number 114546 today and reap the benefits for years to come. Each kit contains four sample bottles with mailing boxes and tubes. A hand pump used in conjunction with the kit, Besser part number 114547, is useful in retrieving samples of the hydraulic oil.

Work safely: Be sure that the machinery is properly locked out before taking the oil samples from the hydraulic reservoirs.
