IV. MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
B. DAILY (CONTINUED)
g. Check the oil level in the vibration case and add oil if required. Change oil if milky or
contaminated. DO NOT OVERFILL
CAUTION: It is absolutely imperative that no dirt or other impurities be permitted
to contaminate the transmission case. Any contamination will
drastically shorten the life of the vibrator bearings.
h. Visually check all hoses for signs of damage or cuts that might cause hose failure
during operation. Be sure all connections are tight.
i. Visually inspect all suppressor elastomers.
j. Perform all daily maintenance checks and lubrication indicated in the
EXCAVATOR OPERATION GUIDE.
3. After engine start-up, check the following:
a. Check all hydraulic hoses for leaks. Make sure they hang freely with no kinks.
b. Check hydraulic motor and hydraulic manifold for leaks.
C. 100 HOURS
1. Every 100 hours, drain and add new lubricant in the vibration case.
D. SEVERE CONDITIONS
The servicing intervals specified are based on normal operating conditions. Operation
under severe or unusual conditions will require some adjustments in servicing intervals.
1. When the average temperature is above 80°F (26°C) or below -10°F (-23°C), reduce
service time intervals by one-half of those specified above.
2. When operating in the presence of dust or sand, reduce service time intervals by one-half
of those specified.
3. When operating in excess of twelve hours per day, reduce service time intervals by one-half
of those specified.
4. When operating in air with high salt or moisture, the servicing intervals need not usually be
changed. However, the unit should be inspected weekly to determine if additional
servicing be required.
5. For extended inactive periods, servicing time intervals may be extended from those
specified, but for actual time intervals, contact you local Antaeus dealer, especially
during lengthy storage periods.
