Maintenance Schedule - MacDon 5020 Operator's Manual

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE The following maintenance schedule is a listing of periodic maintenance
procedures, organized by service intervals. For detailed instructions, see the specific headings in
Maintenance/Service section. Use "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" as specified under that heading.
Service Intervals The recommended service intervals are in hours of operation.
IMPORTANT: Recommended intervals are for average conditions. Service the machine more often if operated
under adverse conditions (severe dust, extra heavy loads, etc.).
Regular maintenance is the best insurance against early wear and untimely breakdowns. Following this
schedule will increase machine life. Where a service interval is given in more than one time frame, eg. "100
hours or Annually", service the machine at whichever interval is reached first.
