Procedures
Maintaining the Machine under
Special Operating Conditions
If the machine is subjected to any of the conditions listed
below, maintenance should be performed twice as frequently.
•
Desert operation
•
Cold climate operation (below 50° F [10° C])
•
Trailer towing
•
Driving time typically less than 5 minutes
•
Frequent operation in dusty conditions
•
Construction work
•
After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or similar
dirty conditions, have your brakes inspected and cleaned
as soon as possible. This will prevent any abrasive
material from causing excessive wear.

Under frequent heavy duty operating conditions, lubricate
all grease fittings and inspect air cleaner daily to prevent
excessive wear.
