Pre-Maintenance
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 10°C (50°F)
•
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
prevents any abrasive material from causing
excessive wear.
•
Under frequent heavy duty operating conditions,
lubricate all grease fittings and inspect the air filter
daily to prevent excessive wear.

Machine
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Engage the parking brake, shut off the engine,
and remove the key from the key switch.
3. Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool.
