Fluid Analysis aims to drastically reduce
catastrophic downtime, extend drain
intervals, and save you money. It's a vital
part of the Customer Personal Service (CPS)
strategy for controlling costs and
increasing profits. With a Fluid Analysis
program, you won't have to guess if it's
time to change fluids, overhaul your engine,
transmission, hydraulic system, or even
trade-in your machine... you'll know!
That's why oil analysis is an integral part
of most Extended Warranty and Planned
Maintenance Agreements. It establishes a
history on each machine that helps you make
informed, proactive decisions on machine
maintenance. The end result is less
downtime, lower stress levels, and bigger
numbers on your bottom line.
Many fluid analysis programs don't do your
equipment or your business justice because
they screen only engine oil samples. The
Fluid Analysis program tells you what's
going on inside all of your machine's major
components. So, if your engine,
transmission, or hydraulic pump start to go
south, you'll know it - usually before you
see a decline in performance.
Specialists use state-of-the-art technology
to test oil samples for both chemical and
physical properties. An emission
spectrometer screens your oil for wear
metals, additives, and contaminants. An
automated viscometer measures the flow rate
of your oil in relation to time. Additional
tests are performed to evaluate indicators
of engine, hydraulic, hydrostatic
components, as well as component
degradation.
Fluid Analysis also helps you schedule
service procedures during low - use periods.
So, instead of reacting to downtime, you can
manage it. A major engine overhaul is never
good news, but it's a lot easier to take if
it's scheduled. It's also less expensive. By
preempting catastrophic downtime, you can
preserve the value of your major component
systems, plus avoid collateral damage to
other parts and systems.
THE START OF A GREAT RELATIONSHIP
The first step is to get together with your
dealer CSA and discuss how a Fluid Analysis
program would benefit your operation. Your
CSA will also explain how Fluid Analysis
fits into the entire CPS scheme of machine
maintenance.
Together, you can put together a new game
plan that will help you get a grip on rising
owning and operating costs. A plan that
raises both productivity and profits to a
new level.
SERVICE COME FIRST
Between your dealer Customer Support Advisor
(CSA) and the technical support staff with a
Fluid Analysis program, you can count on
getting all the personal attention you need.
Nine regional labs process samples quickly
and accurately - usually the same day it's
received. Then, you'll get a full report on
your machine with easy-to-read graphs. If
your samples indicate a serious problem,
you'll be notified immediately by phone or
fax.
IT'S EASY
After extracting fluid into the sample
bottle, seal it, and put it in the
self-mailing container. Then, fill in the
sample information form and your return
address information on the address sticker.
Apply the address sticker and postage to the
container and mail it.
Fluid Analysis offers a sample kit for
testing engine oil, hydraulic/hydrostatic
fluid, and transmission/gearbox fluid.
There's also an Extended Drain Kit to help
save money by increasing engine oil drain
intervals. We also offer a "particle count
test" that checks oil contamination level.
TWO MORE FLUID SAMPLING SOLUTIONS THAT WILL
KEEP YOU RUNNING
Diesel fuel analysis lets you feel confident
about the fuel you run in your machines.
It's an easy way to know if your fuel is:
• Contaminated.
• Proper for your application.
• Within ASTM (American Standard for Testing
of Materials) specifications.
• Acceptable for cold-temperature operation.
Coolant analysis provides an early-warning
system that can prevent up to 40 percent of
engine problems. If your coolant is abnormal
or not performing you'll know in plenty of
time to act. The advance warning comes in
the form of a detailed report that gives
specific recommendations.
To know more about the testing programs for
diesel fuel and coolant, call your dealer
today.
