General

Maintenance Description
For long-term use of the machine under good
conditions, perform the inspection and
maintenance procedures properly and safely
as recommended in this manual.
The inspection and maintenance items are
divided according to the machine's total
operating time (inspection and maintenance
to be performed every 10 hours (walk-around
and daily inspection), every 50 hours, every
250 hours, etc.). Refer to the hour meter to
determine when it is time to perform
inspection and maintenance. Items for which
it is not possible to determine the inspection
and maintenance interval are included under
"When Required".
When operating the machine in extremely
harsh environments (with high dust levels or
high temperatures), inspection and
maintenance should be performed earlier
than the times indicated on the Maintenance
Chart.
