Which outcome occurs when hydraulic fluid temperature exceeds design limits in off-highway equipment?

💡 Explanation

Elevated temperatures reduce fluid viscosity, leading to lower pressures within the hydraulic circuit triggering hydraulic cavitation, because local boiling of fluid occurs faster. This erosion compromises system performance; therefore, cavitation risk increases, rather than improved actuator responsiveness which requires stable fluid properties.
