Operation & Maintenance Manual Maintenance

Battery

Keep the battery terminals and cable clamps clean and lightly coated with petroleum jelly
to prevent corrosion.
The retaining clamp should be kept tight enough to prevent the battery from moving.

Pressure System

At 500 hour intervals it is necessary to inspect the external surfaces of the system (from
the airend through to the discharge valve(s)) including hoses, tubes, tube fittings and the
separator tank, for visible signs of impact damage, excessive corrosion, abrasion,
tightness and chafing. Any suspect parts should be replaced before the machine is put
back into service.

Tyres/Tyre Pressure

See the "General Information" section of this manual.

Running Gear/Wheels

Check the wheel nut torque 20 miles (30 kilometres) after refitting the wheels. Refer to the
"Torque Values" table later in this section.
Lifting jacks should only be used under the axle.
The bolts securing the running gear to the chassis should be checked periodically for
tightness (refer to the "Maintenance Schedule" for frequency) and re-tightened where
necessary. Refer to the "Torque Values" table later in this section.
