Pumps and hydraulic equipment are now used in more facets of
industry than ever before. Whether you are a pump operator or you
encounter pumps and hydraulic systems through your work in another
skilled trade, a basic knowledge of the practical features,
principles, installation, and maintenance of such systems is
essential. You'll find it all here, fully updated with real-world
examples and 21st-century applications.

Learn to install and service pumps for nearly any
application
Understand the fundamentals and operating principles of pump
controls and hydraulics
Service and maintain individual pumping devices that use
smaller motors
See how pumps are used in robotics, taking advantage of
hydraulics to lift larger, heavier loads
Handle new types of housings and work with the latest
electronic controls
Know the appropriate servicing schedule for different types of
pumping equipment
Install and troubleshoot special-service pumps
