MAINTENANCE
DAILY START UP & MAINTENANCE cont.
9. Grease stump grinder wheel bearings daily
(if equipped):
Grease stump grinder wheel bearings daily with an
EP-2 Lithium type grease. Wipe off excess grease.
Excessive grease will attract dirt.
10. Grease slew ring bearings on stump grinder
attachment.
Grease slew ring bearings daily with 2 shots of an
EP-2 Lithium type grease. There are 8 locations to
grease. See "Lubrication Chart" for all 8 locations.
11. Check mower head belt tension (if equipped):
Remove the mower head guard and check the
tension of mower head belt. Belt tension should
measure 7/8” (22 mm) deflection with 65 lbs (30 kg)
of force. New belt tension should be checked after 2
hours of operation, then every 4 hours for the first 48
hours of operation or until they quit stretching. Then
belt tension should be checked daily.
12. Check stump grinder head belt tension (if
equipped):
Remove the stump grinder head guard and check
the tension of stump grinder head belt. Belt tension
should measure 7/8” (22 mm) deflection with 55 lbs
(25 kg) of force. New belt tension should be checked
after 2 hours of operation, then every 4 hours for the
first 48 hours of operation or until they quit stretching.
Then belt tension should be checked daily.
13. Check hydraulic oil level:
Both hydraulic oil reservoir tank levels should always
remain at 7/8 full. Remember to check DAILY to avoid
excessive heat build up.
14.
Check hydraulic shut-off valves:
Check to ensure all shut-off valves are open.
15.
Check for any fluid leaks:
Inspect for any oil, fuel, or hydraulic oil. Check all
hoses, fittings, lines, and tanks. DO NOT use fingers
or skin to check for hydraulic leaks. Repair or replace
any damaged or leaking components.
16. Check the fuel level:
Check the fuel level, running out and repriming is
time consuming. Do not over fill, and you must leave
fuel expansion space in the top of the tank.
17. Check engine oil and coolant levels:
Follow the engine manufacturer manual
recommendations for fluid levels. You
MUST follow
specific ENGINE MFG. manual recommendations
for radiator coolant, additives, lubrication, correct
engine speed, ETC.
18. Check DEF level on Tier 4 engines:
Check the Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF) level on
Tier 4 engines. Fill to engine manufacturer's manual
recommendations.
19. Check radiator, debris screen:
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual.
Thoroughly clean radiator fins at least once a day
or more in excessive conditions. Make sure debris
is not packed between fins. Use compressed air
and/or pressurized water (soap may also be needed)
to clean the radiator, depending on the level and type
of debris. If pressurized water is used, be careful not
to turn the debris hard and pack solid between the
radiator fins. Make sure to clean the radiator in the
correct direction depending on if the cooling fan is
a sucker or a pusher; do not propel the debris into
the radiator with compressed air or pressurized
water. A partially plugged radiator will not allow the
engine to cool properly. Keep the compressed air or
pressurized water a safe distance from the radiator
fins so they are not damaged. Visually inspect
the radiator fins and make sure they are not bent
or closed off, repair or replace as needed. Clean
cooling fan, shroud on air cooled engines, and the
debris screen (if so equipped). Improper service,
maintenance, or neglect will cause overheating
problems and/or engine failure.
20. Check oil cooler:
Thoroughly clean cooler fins at least once a day
or more in excessive conditions. Make sure debris
is not packed between fins. Use compressed air
and/or pressurized water (soap may also be needed)
to clean the oil cooler, depending on the level and
type of debris. If pressurized water is used, be careful
not to turn the debris hard and pack solid between
the cooler fins. Make sure to clean the cooler in the
correct direction; do not propel the debris into the
cooler with compressed air or pressurized water.
Keep the compressed air or pressurized water a
safe distance from the cooler fins so they are not
damaged. Visually inspect the cooler fins and make
sure they are not bent or closed off, repair or replace
as needed.
21. Check A/C condenser:
Thoroughly clean condenser fins at least once a day
and twice in excessive conditions. Make sure debris
is not packed between fins. Use pressurized water
spray to clean. Do not rely on air pressure. The A/C
condenser will only appear to be clean.
22.
Check A/C filter:
Clean or replace foam A/C filter. Located behind the
cab, on the front of the A/C.
23. Check air cleaner and precleaner:
Clean or replace element following engine manual
recommendations. Also, check and clean the
vacuator valve.
24. Check hydraulic control valves:
Inspect all hydraulic control valves and ensure they
operate smoothly and shift correctly.
