MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

Dusty Jobsite
When working at dusty worksites, do as follows:
q
Inspect the air cleaner clogging monitor frequently to see if the air cleaner is clogged.
q
Clean the radiator core frequently to avoid clogging.
q
Clean and replace the fuel filter frequently.
q
Clean electrical components, especially the starting motor and alternator, to avoid accumulation of dust.
q
When inspecting or changing the oil, move the machine to a place that is free of dust to prevent dirt from get-
ting into the oil.
Avoid Mixing Lubricants
If a different type of oil has to be added, drain the old oil and replace all the oil with the new type of oil. Never mix
different kinds of oil.
Locking the Inspection Covers
Lock inspection cover in position securely with the lock bar. If inspection or maintenance is carried out with the
inspection cover not locked in position, there is a hazard that it may be suddenly blown shut by the wind and cause
injury to the worker.
Hydraulic System - Air Bleeding
When hydraulic equipment has been repaired or replaced, or the hydraulic piping has been removed and installed
again, the air must be bled from the circuit. For details, see "BLEEDING AIR FROM HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (4-
37)".
Hydraulic Hose Installation
q
When removing parts at locations where there are O-rings or gasket seals, clean the mounting surface, and
replace with new parts.
When doing this, be careful not to forget to assemble the O-rings and gaskets.
q
When installing the hoses, do not twist them or bend them into loops with a small radius.
This will cause damage to the hose and markedly reduce its service life.
Checks After Inspection and Maintenance Works
If you forget carrying out the checks after inspection and maintenance, unexpected problems may occur, and this
may lead to serious injury or property damage. Always do as follows.
q
Checks after operation (with engine stopped)
q
Have any inspection and maintenance points been forgotten?
q
Have all inspection and maintenance items been carried out correctly?
q
Have any tools or parts been dropped inside the machine? It is particularly dangerous if parts are dropped
inside the machine and get caught in the lever linkage mechanism.
q
Is there any leakage of water or oil? Have all the bolts been tightened?
q
Checks when operating engine
q
For details of the checks when operating the engine, see "TWO WORKERS FOR MAINTENANCE WHEN
ENGINE IS RUNNING (2-36)" and pay careful attention to safety.
q
Are the inspection and maintenance items working properly?
q
Is there any leakage of fuel or oil when the engine speed is raised?
