Before each use:
• Make sure hydraulic oil and engine oil levels
are full.
• Make sure leaks, kinks, or abrasions do not
exist in hydraulic hoses or fuel lines.

guards are working and are in place.
Every 150 hours of use:
• Clean hydraulic tank vent cap ( Figure 22 )
with solvent, and let air dry, and reinstall.
As needed:
