CHAPTER V MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
5.1PREPARATION BEFORE MAINTENANCE
Follow with the "Maintenance and Security Matters" mentioned in the previous
chapter
5.2 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
Instructions:
1. Before any operation or maintenance, make sure the instruction manual of the machine
concerning safety, warning and descriptive information has been read and understood
completely.
2. The user is responsible for proper maintenance of the machine, including adjusting
mechanism, adding lubricants and other operating fluids, replacing filters and replacing
parts due to normal wear or aging. Failure to maintain the entire machine according to
correct intervals and specified procedures may lead to a drop in performance to the
machine as well as accelerated wear on its parts and components.
Note:
1) Before any continuous maintenance cycle, it is necessary to complete all previous
maintenance work firstly. In completing any item of maintenance work, it is necessary to
ensure that any other items that are supposed to be performed according to cycles shorter
than its cycle are done simultaneously with that item of work. For example, if a collection of
items of work supposed to be performed once every 500 hours or every three months needs
to be done, some other items must be performed simultaneously, including any item
supposed to be performed once every 250 hours or every month, once every 100 hours or
half a month, once every 50 hours or every week, or once every 10 hours or every day.
2) It is imperative that all maintenance cycles be determined by work time. However, calendar
time-based cycles could replace work time-based ones if calendar time-based maintenance
plans turn out to be more convenient and the numbers included in calendar time-based plans
are approximate to those in the corresponding work time-based plans. Carry out maintenance
work, no matter what time is adopted, work time or calendar time, whichever comes first;
3) It is necessary to shorten time specified in the maintenance cycles table and carry out
maintenance more frequently under the extremely harsh, dusty, wet, or other unfavorable
working conditions.
I. Routine maintenance items to be performed once every 10 hours or once a day
1. Check the engine coolant and make sure that the engine has been filled to the full; If the
machine equipped with attached tank, check the coolant level whether in the normal
range or not, add coolant as necessary.
2. Check the engine oil level of engine and the liquid level of injection pump governor, and
ensure the level stays within the normal operating range, add it as necessary.
3. Check the hydraulic oil level in the hydraulic tank to ensure that the level stays within the
