The inspection and maintenance items are
divided according to the machine's total
operating time (inspection and maintenance
to be performed every 10 hours (walk-around
and daily inspection), every 50 hours, every
250 hours, etc.). Refer to the hour meter
to determine when it is time to perform
inspection and maintenance. Items for which
