7.6 Engine Oil Change
Regular oil changes are necessary to maintain a strong running engine. Terex rec-
ommends a normal oil change interval of 250 hours or every six months. Allow
the machine to cool prior to service. Wear safety glasses, safety gloves and any
other items necessary to ensure your safety while performing maintenance or
service.
To change engine oil:
1.
Park the machine in a suitable location for performing service, lower the lift
arms, stop the engine, and remove the key.
2.
Remove the belly pan beneath the engine to access the drain.
3.
Remove the oil drain plug (item 1, fig. 7.6-1) from the pan.
4.
Drain the oil into a suitable catch container.
5.
Remove engine oil filter. Upon removal, make sure the filter gasket (item 2,
fig. 7.6-1) is still present on the filter. If not, remove it from the filter port on
the engine prior to installing the new filter to prevent leaks.
6.
Apply fresh oil to the new filter gasket surface and install the new filter.
7.
Tighten the new oil filter to specifications on filter label or box.
8.
Refill the engine to capacity at the location labeled 3 above with oil as
specified in the chapter 3, Technical Data.
9.
Reinstall the belly pan as found upon removal, and dispose of the used oil
and filter according to local mandates.
Oil and machine components can be HOT! Allow the machine to cool thor-
oughly prior to performing maintenance or service to avoid the possibility
of burns.
