Monitoring the leakage of hydraulic oil during daily maintenance of the stacker is crucial for several reasons. Hydraulic systems rely on a sealed environment to maintain pressure and ensure the efficient operation of the lifting mechanism. Any leakage can indicate wear and tear of components such as seals and hoses, which can lead to decreased system performance and potential failure. Furthermore, oil leaks can create safety hazards due to slippery surfaces, and they can also lead to environmental concerns if the oil contaminates surrounding areas. Regularly checking for leaks allows for timely repairs and maintenance, ensuring the stacker remains safe and operational.

While checking the color of the oil, air temperature, and engine RPM are also important aspects of maintenance, they do not directly address the immediate operational integrity and safety concerns posed by hydraulic oil leakage. Identifying and rectifying leaks promptly can prevent more significant issues down the line, making it a key focus during the daily inspection routine.
