Intervals
Performing preventive maintenance on your refuse vehicle
will prolong the life of its equipment, help prevent expensive
downtime, and minimize the potential for problems arising on
the route.
The following Preventive Maintenance Chart summarizes the
requirements to properly maintain your refuse vehicle.
The chart specifies the recommended interval when each item
should be performed.
Intervals are listed in calendar and hours-of-use increments.
Maintenance should be performed at the increment that
occurs first.
The preventive maintenance intervals listed under the Service
group heading are the maximum days or hours allowed
for each maintenance procedure. Continue to repeat the
maintenance procedures at the listed intervals.
NOTE
If the Packer is operated more hours per
day or double-shifted, the maintenance
interval must be adjusted accordingly.
