GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to performing any service or maintenance on the telehandler, follow the
shut-down procedure on page 4-5 unless otherwise instructed. Ensure telehandler
is level, for proper fluid readings.
• Clean lubrication fittings before lubricating.
• After greasing telehandler, cycle all functions several times to distribute lubricants.
Perform this maintenance procedure without attachment installed.
• Apply a light coating of engine oil to all linkage pivot points.
• Intervals shown are for normal usage and conditions. Adjust intervals for abnormal
usage and conditions.
• Check all lubricant levels when lubricant is cool, with the exception of the
transmission fluid. For ease of filling hydraulic reservoir, use a funnel with a hose or
flexible tube for best results.
