This virtual hydraulic excavator lets your drive operate explore the systems maintain and diagnose faults. It will help you to learn about fluid power safely and effectively. The program lets you operate drive boom and slew controls then explore the components that make them work. The best way to learn is by experimentation. It includes an example hydrostatic drive circuit with information and exercises that show you how to maintain and diagnose common faults.
The full list of training routines includes:
Operate the skid steer loader controls
