1 FLUID ANALYSIS PROGRAM

2 What Can The Bobcat Fluid Analysis Program Do For You? Imagine being able to see exactly what s happening inside an engine, gearbox or hydraulic system. Bobcat Fluid Analysis is a preventive maintenance tool that examines your maintenance fluids to provide internal conditions of components without having to disassemble your equipment. Bobcat Fluid Analysis will: Identify minor problems before they become major failures State-of-the-art fluid analysis identifies dirt, wear particles, fuel dilution and coolant contaminants that can cause catastrophic failure or significantly shorten equipment life. Identify contaminants Monitoring the fluid s condition can help discover wear-causing contamination and also reveal how an operating environment affects equipment performance. Ensure lubricant integrity Monitoring properties helps eliminate lube mixing and ensures that the oil is performing as it should, i.e. additive depletion rates, viscosity, water separability characteristics. Maximize asset reliability Testing and analysis ensures that units are up, running and making money. Increase resale value Analysis results provide valuable sampling history documentation that easily justifies higher equipment resale values. Ensuring cooling system efficiency - Overcooling most commonly occurs when the coolant bypasses a defective water temperature regulator and flows directly to the radiator preventing the engine from reaching normal operating temperature. Your coolant system is vital, but typically the most neglected and least understood. WHY BOBCAT? High Quality Testing You can be confident that the test results you receive through the Bobcat Fluid Analysis Program are accurate, repeatable and traceable to a standard. Bobcat testing laboratories are ISO A2LA accredited the highest level of quality attainable by a testing laboratory backed by the most stringent accrediting body in the industry. This means that your fluid analysis program is supported by a documented quality system you can depend on to deliver superior testing and customer services. Innovative Maintenance Solutions Bobcat Fluid Analysis Program is fast and accurate. Laboratories are accessible within 48 hours ground transit from almost anywhere in the continental United States. Once your samples have been logged at the lab, you can track their progress at Go to eoilreports.com to get your results almost immediately upon completion through HORIZON, Bobcat s online reporting and data management solution.

3 Taking Samples Regular sampling and testing through the Bobcat Fluid Analysis Program monitors trends in test data over an extended period of time which provides the information you need to continually maximize asset reliability and increase your profits. Equipment manufacturers provide recommendations for preventive maintenance practices, but how critical a piece of equipment is to production is a major consideration for determining sampling frequency. High temperatures, dusty conditions, short trips with heavy loads, and excessive idle times can also significantly shorten maintenance intervals. Fluid analysis is most effective when samples are representative of typical operating conditions. Dirt, system debris, water and light fuels tend to separate from lubricants and coolants when system temperatures cool. For optimum results, consider the following best practices: Take samples while systems are operating under normal conditions or immediately after shutdown while they are still at operating temperature. Take samples at regularly scheduled intervals. Take samples from the same sampling point each time Whether you re a seasoned veteran or a first-time sampler, a well-designed, quality oil analysis program puts you on track for well-managed, cost-effective equipment maintenance.

4 The Bobcat Fluid Analysis Test Kits All testing is provided by an ISO A2LA accredited laboratory that generates a test report for each sample submitted. Refer to the chart below to determine which combination of tests each component will receive. To purchase the Bobcat Fluid Analysis Kit and supplies contact your local Bobcat dealership.

6 TAKING OIL SAMPLES WITH A VACUUM PUMP 1. Measure length or depth of fill port tube, reservoir or dipstick. 2. Add 6 inches and mark the measurement on the tubing. 3. Cut the tubing 12 inches beyond this mark. 4. Insert tubing onto top of vacuum pump and tighten lock ring. 5. Remove sample jar lid, attach jar to bottom of vacuum pump and tighten securely. 6. Insert tubing into fill port, reservoir or dipstick retaining tube only to the mark on the tubing. To avoid drawing settled debris into the sample, do not allow contact between tubing and bottom of reservoir. 7. Push and pull vacuum pump plunger until sample jar is 3/4 full. 8. When sample reaches shoulder of jar, unscrew jar from pump, replace jar lid and tighten securely. 9. Unscrew pump locking ring, remove tubing and drain excess oil back into reservoir. 10. Discard tubing after each sample to avoid cross contamination. 11. Complete sample jar label and affix to sample jar.
