Page 3-2
Maintenance described in this section represents minimum requirements for continuous satisfactory
operation of the machine.
Because improperly maintained machines are hazardous, it is extremely important that only quali fi ed
mechanics perform maintenance work.
It is imperative that only genuine AEC parts are used if replacement is needed as substituted parts in
critical areas may place the operator at risk and impeed correct machine performance.
It is recommended that a regular maintenance schedule be followed for mechanical adjustments as
well as for lubrication.
Use a preventative maintenance program to catch and correct many serious problems before they
occur. The preventative maintenance schedule contained herein gives a daily, weekly, monthly, semi-
annually, annually, and break-in 100 hours minimum requirement to keep your riding trowel running
ef
fi ciently for years. The lubrication chart contained herein is one part of riding trowel preventative
maintenance.
Because regular maintenance cannot be controlled by the manufacturer or by the distributor, it must
ultimately be the responsibility of the owner.
Your AEC dealer stands ready to assist in the event of operational dif fi culties. However, most adjust-
ments and/or repair can be readily performed by the user.
The instructions provided in this section will facilitate the maintenance of the AEC equipment to operate
at peak ef
fi ciency.
