1.4 Lubrication and maintenance
1.4.1 Maintenance introduction
IMPORTANT:
Do maintenance procedures at regularly scheduled intervals. Failure to do regularly scheduled maintenance
will cause damage to machine components or the engine. The maintenance schedule is a recommended
guide for correct machine maintenance.
IMPORTANT:
When operating in normal conditions, do not change the schedule. When operating the machine in very
hot, cold, dirty, or corrosive conditions, increase the frequency of service.
Use the hourmeter as a guide for maintenance intervals.
Maintenance intervals can be shown in both operating hours and time. Example: 10 Hours or Every day.
Use the interval that comes first.
1.4.2 Lubricant filling reminders
Use only high-quality lubricants. Low quality lubricants reduce the service life of the machine and can
cause component failures.
When a lubricant is specified, do not use a different lubricant.
Do not add a lubricant unless the lubricant is the same type and grade as the lubricant already in use. If the
grade is not known or not available, replace the lubricant with new lubricant.
Keep all lubricants in clean containers and in an area that has protection from dust, dirt, water, and other
contamination.
1.4.3 Lubricants and fluids
Lubrication
