5.3 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Engine parts experience wear at different rates. Technical maintenance tasks, therefore, are required at several
different intervals throughout the life of the engine:
• Daily
• Weekly or every 10 hours of operation
• Quarterly or every 20 hours of operation
The chart lists the required maintenance tasks at each designated intervals throughout the life of the engine.
For example, a task performed after the first 10 hours of operation must be repeated after 20 hours, 30 hours,
and so forth.
