5.8 Maintenance Schedule
The following maintenance schedule is a listing of periodic maintenance procedures, 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 this manual. Use the lubricant specified in
5.4.1
Lubricants, page 78 .
Service Intervals: The 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.).
