Maintenance intervals The maintenance intervals are determined by various factors. Different application conditions, weather influ- ences, working speeds and soil conditions have an influence on the maintenance intervals. The quality of the lubricants and cleaning agents also affects the time to the next care activities. The specified maintenance intervals therefore only serve as a reference.
