Feeling the Burn. When you start working out your legs, whether it's intense walking or using the leg press machine, your body starts converting glucose, or glycogen, into lactic acid inside your muscles. The muscle cells use lactic acid as fuel, as well as adenosine triphosphate.
Hydraulic Oil Temperatures We at KJA recommend maintaining the hydraulic elevator oil at a temperature of 37Â°C (100Â°F) plus or minus 10 per cent. We are concerned with two things: the change in oil viscosity with the change in temperature and the possible breakdown of the oil at high temperatures.
Begin heating the oil over medium high heat. If you have a deep fat frying thermometer, use it! The best temperature is 350 to 375 degrees F. If you don't have a thermometer, the oil is ready when a 1 cube of white bread dropped into the oil browns in 60 seconds; that oil temperature will be about 365 degrees F. Don't overcrowd the pan!
