What are the most common causes of hydraulic motor failure?
The most common motor failures are related to how the return oil is routed to the carrier. The lack of an open return can cause excessive backpressure, which will prematurely damage the motors shaft seal and can lead to catastrophic motor housing damage in some circumstances. Proper return line plumbing is essential for proper return line pressure and trouble free operation. Exceeding the maximum hydraulic input values for your model Ho-Pac will also greatly reduce component life and performance.
