Preventive maintenance is really just a simple matter of common sense. If you keep any piece of mechanical
equipment clean and properly lubricated, and promptly replace any worn or damaged parts, you are going to "prevent"
deterioration and promote long life and safe, productive service. The only other requisite to such a program is the
regular scheduling of such maintenance.
Obviously, when you are operating under severe job conditions, such as a dusty job site, in extreme heat or cold, a
long operating day, or extremely heavy loads, the recommended intervals in the schedule should be shortened.
The suggested schedule on the following page is designed to be just a reminder of what should be done. For detailed
instructions on each item, consult the Table of Contents for where each is located in this manual.
AFTER THE FIRST 100 HOURS OF OPERATION OF A NEW MACHINE
A new machine needs a special maintenance procedure after the first 100 hours of operation.
1. Do a complete inspection of the loader. Rectify any problems, replace any damaged parts.
2. Check torque (retorque if necessary):
- Turntable Bearing Mounting Bolts
- Mounting Bolts/Nuts on major machine components (gearboxes, motors, pumps, booms,
attachment, turntable bearing, lower assembly, tires, etc.)
3. Check torque of loader mounting bolts. Retorque if necessary.
4. Change all filter elements.
Resume the normal maintenance intervals after this. See the Service Schedule for more information.
SPECIAL NEW-MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Instructions are necessary before doing service on loader. See
warnings and instructions both at the beginning and throughout
this manual. After doing service or making repairs or adjustments
always check function of loader.
Safety glasses or goggles are always needed for eye protection
from electric arcs, from shorts or welding, battery acid, compressed
springs, fluids under pressure, and flying debris or loose material
when engines are running or tools are used. Use eye protection
approved for type of welding. Failure to obey warnings can cause
death, severe injury or property damage.
