Lint from cleaning rags can be harmful to hydraulic systems because the lint __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• hydraulic system contamination and how small particles affect precision components • the role of filters, valves, and close-clearance parts in a hydraulic system • difference between chemical damage to fluid vs. physical blockage/wear

💭 Think About

• Think about what soft lint fibers are most likely to do when they get inside small passages and tight clearances in a hydraulic system. • Which option best describes a realistic mechanical effect of fibers moving through filters, valves, and seals? • Consider whether lint is more likely to chemically react with metal or fluid, or to interfere with flow and sealing surfaces.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice describes blockage or interference with flow/seals, since lint is a physical contaminant. • Eliminate any options that require lint to chemically react or change state in an unusual way. • Ask yourself which effect would most directly lead to reduced pressure, internal leakage, or filter problems in a hydraulic system.
