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.
With hydraulics, there are two primary considerations - the viscosity grade and the hydraulic oil type. These specifications are typically determined by the type of hydraulic pump employed in the system, operating temperature and the system's operating pressure. But it doesn't stop there. Other items for consideration are: base oil type, overall lubricant quality and performance properties.
