Maintenance Intervals
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE,
PLEASE CONSULT THE "SAFETY" SECTION FOR
VITAL INFORMATION RELATED TO OPERATING
THIS POWERFUL MACHINE!
The maintenance section is a guide to equipment care. The
Maintenance Interval Schedule on the previous pages lists
the items to be maintained at a specific service interval. These
items are listed with step-by-step instructions required to
accomplish the scheduled maintenance are detailed on the
following pages.
Use the Maintenance Interval Schedule as an index for all
maintenance procedures.
Determining Maintenance Intervals
Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals.
Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be
used instead of service hour meter intervals if they provide
more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the
indicated service hour meter reading. Recommended service
should always be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions,
more frequent lubrication and filter replacement
is specified in the maintenance intervals chart might be
necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the original
requirement. For example, at every 500 service hours or
3 months, also service those items listed under every 250
service hours or monthly and every 10 service hours or daily.
