AwARNING
• Stop the engine and allow the
machine to cool before performing
maintenance.

Be careful when loosening plugs.
Working on the machine under these
conditions could result in burns or
injuries.

reduction gears case may cause oil
or the plug to fly out. Loosen the plug
slowly to release the pressure.

travel time within the total operating time
is high, replace the gear oil earlier than
the specified time.
