Hour meter
The machine control system is readily warning about the
need of specific maintenance operations. However, some
other maintenance operations have to be carried out on a
regular basis without any specific warning. Make sure to
get acquainted with the main time intervals indicated into
this Chapter, and make sure to check the hour meter at the
beginning of every working day in order to anticipate the
need for maintenance operations at a certain time interval.
