November 2006 RECOMENDED ENGINE OIL & FUEL KUBOTA D1105 DIESEL ENGINE Engine oil should be MIL-L-2104C or have properties of API classification of CD grades or higher. Change the type of engine oil according to the ambient operating tempera ture: Above 77°F (25°C) SAE 30 32°F to 77°F (0 to 25°C)
When used properly, the wire ropes should give years of trouble-free service, depending on how often the masts are raised and lowered. The rule of thumb at TEREX is that if the tower is raised and lowered an average of once per day, that the cables should be replaced every two years of service.
