Preventative maintenance:
Tigercat's advanced oil analysis program
The Tigercat Advanced Oil Analysis Program applies to all
major machine components including engines, hydraulic circuits, axles, final
drives and gearboxes.
Studies have shown that it is possible to receive a ten to
one payback when looking at the amount saved on repair costs to the amount
invested in a scheduled oil analysis program.
Benefits of the Tigercat oil sampling program:
-
Detect problems early before they become major
catastrophic failures.
-
Better ability to schedule downtime and forecast cost
of repairs.
-
Monitor maintenance schedules and practices and
confirm that the required maintenance is being done on time.
-
Increase used equipment value by providing proof of
proper maintenance.

The oil analysis program uses the most modern technology
available. Most test results are available within 24 hours after receipt of
the sample and are supplied in an easy to understand report which calls for
specific action and makes detailed recommendations. The report is available
by mail, fax, via e-mail and can be viewed over the internet.
Each Kit Includes:
12 Pre-paid Sample Bottles and Sample Information Forms.
Pre-printed mailing labels are also included to ensure all samples are
quickly returned directly to the lab for immediate analysis and results
within 24 hours of receipt.
The same sample bottle can be used for all types of oil
testing including Hydraulic Circuits, Final Drives, Axles, Gearboxes,
Engines, etc.
To ensure accurate and meaningful results are obtained,
each kit also includes detailed instructions on how properly collect,
prepare and ship the oil samples
Contact your Tigercat dealer parts department to order oil
sampling kits and take advantage of this excellent preventative maintenance tool.
