1. A method of monitoring a fluid system of a mining machine, the method comprising:
- sensing a pressure level of a fluid in the fluid system of the mining machine to generate pressure level data;
analyzing the pressure level data to detect pressure level deviations;
determining at least one selected from the group ofwhen a frequency of the pressure level deviations exceeds a predetermined frequency, andwhen the fluid pressure level fails to reach a threshold within a predetermined reaction time period; and
outputting an alert in response to the determination.
