VIBRATORY
DRIVER/EXTRACTOR
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 APE dealer,
especially during lengthy storage periods.
