[1] Guidelines for Maintenance and Inspection of Major Parts

The table below shows regular inspection items, schedule, and parts replacement criteria under normal use condition. The "Inspection schedule" column under the "Preventive maintenance"
column indicates the regular inspection schedule, and the "Maintenance schedule" column indicates an estimation of the time when the parts need to be cleaned or adjusted or when old parts need to
be replaced or repaired. The cleaning/adjustment schedule is provided in order to take proper measure to protect the parts from deterioration or performance drop, and the estimated
operating time or use period when each part goes into the wear-out failure period is provided so that replacement of the parts can be made at the right timing after the inspection.
