6.0 Maintenance Instructions
This chapter contains all normal maintenance instructions to properly maintain your machine.
6.1 Engine
Refer to the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions for the engine.
6.2 Hydraulic System
Check hydraulic fluid daily.
Change hydraulic filter every 250 hours of machine operation. Replace if necessary.
Change hydraulic fluid every 500 hours of operation.
6.3 Heat Transfer Oil
Check the oil level at the start of every day.
Change the oil every 500 hours of machine operation or 1 year, whichever comes first. Failure to
follow this oil change interval will result in machine damage.
6.4 Wheel Bearing
Pack the wheel bearing every 24,000 miles (38,624 km) or every two years, whichever comes first.
Use a good grade of bearing grease.
6.5 Material Sensor Tube
Check for heat transfer oil in tube every 50 hours of operation. 2 ounces (59.1 ml) required.
6.6 Cleaning Material Tank and Sensor Area
The material tank needs to be cleaned every year or as needed for proper operation. As the
machine is used, material builds up around the tank walls and sensor guard. The built up material
prevents heat from getting to the fresh material and causes longer heat up times. The built up
material will also prevent the material temperature sensor from reading accurately because it
becomes insulated from the fresh material. The coked material needs to be scraped or chipped
from the tank walls. The area between the sensor and sensor guard needs to be cleaned also for
proper temperature sensing. An air chisel with various sized blades usually works best to break up
the material and remove it from the walls. Once the walls and sensor guard areas are cleaned,
remove all the loose chunks from the tank, and vacuum out any smaller pieces.
