Removing Debris from the
Machine
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
Important: Operating the engine with blocked grill
and/or cooling shrouds removed, will result in engine
damage from overheating.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, turn the engine off
, and remove the key; refer to
the Engine (page
26).
2. Open the forward and rear hoods and allow the engine
to cool; refer to
Opening the Hood (page
3. Clean any debris from the front grills.
4. Wipe away debris from the air filter.
5. Clean any dirt and debris on the engine and in the
cooling fins with a brush or blower.
Important: It is preferable to blow dirt out, rather
than washing it out. If water is used, keep it away
from electrical items and hydraulic valves. Do
not use a high-pressure washer. High-pressure
washing can damage the electrical system and
hydraulic valves or deplete grease.
6. Clean debris from the hood opening, muffler, and heat
shields.
7. Clean debris from the oil-cooler duct
the engine-exhaust pipe
8. Close the hoods; refer to
Cleaning the Chassis
Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Check for accumulation
of dirt and debris in the chassis.
Over time, the chassis under the engine collects dirt and
debris that must be removed. Using a flashlight, inspect the
area under the engine, fuel tank, and hydraulic tank on a
regular basis. When the debris is 25–50 mm (1–2 inch) deep,
have an Authorized Service Dealer remove the drums and
flush the chassis clean.
