You will be able to:

  • Show an understanding of simple hydraulics, be able to describe how a hydraulic system works, and explain the benefits of such a system.

  • Provide an overview of the different hydraulic systems used within cars and vans.

  • Demonstrate how to safely recover hydraulic fluid from vehicle shock absorbers using specialist recovery equipment.

  • Safely recover hydraulic fluid from typical automotive braking systems and hydraulic clutches.

  • Safely recover hydraulic fluid from automatic gearboxes and semi-automatic transmissions.

  • Safely recover steering fluid from hydraulic assisted power steering systems.

  • Safely recover fluid from hydraulic assisted clutches.


Who is this course suitable for?

  • This course is designed for anyone who needs awareness of depollution processes associated with the extraction and storage of hydraulic fluids from an ELV, typically found in the vehicle's braking, clutch, suspensions and steering systems.

  • This course is designed for anyone who needs technical knowledge of how to extract and safely store used hydraulic fluids from an ELV.

  • This course is designed for anyone who needs technical knowledge of hydraulic fluid removal within a vehicle dismantling or automotive repair workplace.

  • No experience is needed to take part in this course, it is aimed at all levels within an organisation or company.

  • Suitable for operatives, technicians, supervisors and management.
