Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of the EC HYD-24-015317 WIPER?
A: The EC HYD-24-015317 is a rod wiper seal that removes contaminants and moisture from the hydraulic cylinder rod surface on each stroke cycle. It protects the internal rod seals from dirt ingestion, which is critical for reliable hydraulic system performance.

Q: What Ecoa equipment does the EC HYD-24-015317 fit?
A: The EC HYD-24-015317 WIPER is designed for Ecoa manual pallet jack hydraulic systems. Cross-reference your equipment manufacturer and model number to ensure this part is correct for your jack.

Q: What is the material composition of the EC HYD-24-015317?
A: The wiper is manufactured from molded polyurethane elastomer selected for its balance of flexibility, durability, and resistance to hydraulic fluid and environmental exposure.

Q: What failure symptoms indicate the EC HYD-24-015317 needs replacement?
A: Replace the wiper if you observe visible cracks, tears, permanent set (deformation that does not return to shape), loss of contact with the rod, or elevated contamination in the hydraulic fluid. Contamination symptoms include sluggish pump performance and increased seal failures.

Q: What is the expected service life of the EC HYD-24-015317 WIPER?
A: Under normal use, wiper seals typically perform for 2-4 years. High-frequency use, dirty storage areas, or outdoor exposure can reduce service life to 12-18 months. Preventive replacement during routine maintenance extends overall hydraulic system reliability.
