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 page lists the
items to be maintained at a specific service interval. These
items are listed in alphabetical order. 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.
Walk-Around Inspection
For maximum service life of the machine, make a thorough
walk-around inspection. Inspect the machine for the following:
• Loose Bolts
• Trash Buildup
• Oil Leaks
• Broken Parts
• Worn Parts
Inspect the overall condition of the machine and its hydraulic
components.
Check the engine oil level, the hydraulic oil level, and
the fuel level, before operating the machine each use.

To access the engine oil dipstick (1), open the compartment
door on the fuel tank side of the machine. To access the
engine oil cap (2) open either side engine enclosure hood.
During the initial break-in period, the engine will consume
more oil than usual. Check the oil level daily. Low oil level
can cause severe engine damage.
