Altec Maintenance Webinars

Interactive Webinars

Interactive maintenance training webinars are available for purchase to help technicians learn virtually. The interactive webinars are 60-minute sessions facilitated using the Microsoft Teams webinar platform, virtual learning tools, handouts and real-time instruction. These sessions are great as introductory training for new hires, or as refresher training throughout the year. Technicians can participate in a specific roadmap of courses or select individual courses. We are continuing to build our course library and will be adding additional courses in 2022. Courses are $125 per participant link. Hydraulic Symbols is $75/per participant link.

Preventive Maintenance 1
This course is intended to introduce technicians to the Altec Preventive Maintenance Inspection process. Technicians will identify sections of the Altec Maintenance Manual, discuss how to conduct a preventive maintenance inspection, use the Preventive Maintenance Checklist to determine when to replace filters, and use charts to determine lubrication, weld inspection and torque inspection processes and procedures.

Preventive Maintenance 2
This course covers various Altec inspection processes and testing procedures required to perform Preventive Maintenance Inspections. Technicians will identify proper torqueing procedures, determine when to perform turntable tilt, HOP, and side load test inspections, and how to identify basic testing procedures.

Preventive Maintenance 3

Participants will discuss hydraulic system pressure checks, the rotation bearing and gearbox, structural tests, manual stowage, and Atmospheric Vent testing.

AXIS
This course is aimed at introducing technicians to uses for the AXIS tool and AXIS maintenance practices. Participants will discuss the benefits of the AXIS tool, navigation, credentials and inputs and outputs.

Hydraulic Symbols
This course is aimed at introducing technicians to common symbols used on Altec hydraulic schematics. Participants will break down individual symbol components and identify symbols in a schematic.

Basic Hydraulics 1
This course introduces technicians to basic hydraulic principles and theory, prime movers, pumps, and actuators. Participants will use the basic principles of fluid power to answer questions, describe properties of hydraulic fluids, describe the purpose of prime movers, identify the purpose of a pump in a specific hydraulic system and recognize corresponding symbols for components

Basic Hydraulics 2
This course introduces technicians to basic hydraulic fluid conditioning and conductors. Participants will recognize damaging effects of contamination and improper fluid in a hydraulic system, determine the proper procedure for taking a hydraulic fluid sample and identify where to find specification for fluid conductors.

Basic Hydraulics 3
This course introduces technicians to directional control and flow control valves. Participants will identify hydraulic symbols for valves, determine valve placement in a system, identify internal valve components and types of flow controls.

Basic Electrical 1
This course is aimed at introducing technicians to basic electrical concepts and Digital Volt-Ohm Meter usage. Participants will define basic electrical concepts, examine Ohm’s Law, discuss the importance of electrical safety, describe series and parallel circuits, determine correct lead placement on the DVOM to test voltage, resistance and current and determine where to place leads to test a component in a circuit.

Basic Electrical 2
This course is aimed at introducing technicians to electrical components and schematics. Participants will recall potential safety concerns when dealing with electrical circuits and components, identify electrical components by their symbols, and trace flow through an electrical circuit.

Basic Electrical 3

Participants will identify components on electrical schematics, discuss types of chassis/machine interfaces, discuss the outrigger interlock system, electrical control systems, basic electrical diagnostics.

Power Distribution Module (PDM)
This course introduces technicians to the PDM interface commonly found on Altec equipment. Participants will discuss safety procedures, where to locate the PDM, identify components within the PDM, and identify PDM circuitry.

Controller Area Network (CAN)
This course introduces technicians to CAN-based control systems found on Altec equipment. Participants will identify CAN system components, recognize how CAN signals are sent, and discuss basic troubleshooting procedures for working with the CAN-based control system

Reading Electrical Schematics
Using schematics, participants will trace the flow of electrons through an electric circuit and troubleshoot a given scenario.

Reading Hydraulic Schematics
Using schematics, participants will trace the flow of hydraulic oil through an electric over hydraulic system and troubleshoot a given scenario.

Private Webinar Session (Price varies)
Customer Choice is a 60-minute interactive webinar set aside for private customer requests. Technicians will engage with the trainer and other participants throughout the course, using virtual learning tools, handouts, and real-time instruction. Customers can select one of the current webinar offerings from the list to be facilitated during this time slot. A minimum of 6 participant links are required to schedule this interactive webinar.
