CHAPTER 8. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

Preventative maintenance is very important. It includes lubrication, checks and adjustments which the operator

structions.
Most of these service measures are simple to carry out and do not need any detailed explanation. The instruc-
tions which require specific procedures are detailed in this Chapter.
