Unit or system where the prescribed maintenance work has to be

etc.; "Every 250 Operating Hours", at 250, 500, 750 etc.).
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Thoroughly clean all grease fittings, caps and plugs before lubri-
cating.
Seals must be replaced when oil drain plugs and oil level plugs
have been opened.
Fill-up fuel tank at the end of the shift to prevent condensation of
moisture.
It is recommended to carry-out oil change in assemblies when
they are still at operating temperature to speed up draining.

cause personal injury.
