7.18 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following maintenance schedules list
periodic maintenance procedures, and are
organized by service intervals. Regular
maintenance is the best insurance against early
wear and untimely breakdowns. Following this
schedule will increase machine life. For detailed
instructions, refer to the specific headings in
Section 6 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING.
Recommended service intervals are in
hours of
operation
. Where a service interval is given in
more than one time frame, e.g. "100 hours or
Annually", service the machine at whichever
interval is reached first.
IMPORTANT
Recommended intervals are for average
conditions. Service the machine more
often if operated under adverse conditions
(severe dust, extra heavy loads, etc.).
CAUTION
Carefully follow safety messages given
under Section 7.2 RECOMMENDED SAFETY
PROCEDURES.
