MAINTENANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation.  Maintenance re-

quirements have been reduced to the absolute minimum. However, it is very important that these main-

tenance functions be performed as described below.

Procedure

Daily (Every 

8 hours)

Weekly (Every 

40 hours)

Monthly (Every 

250 Hours)

Check for missing or loose hardware. Replace or tighten if 

necessary. See Bolt Torque Specifications

Check hydraulic system for leaks and tighten as necessary. 

Check for damage and replace as needed.

Check for missing or damaged safety decals and replace as 

necessary.

Visually inspect the machine for worn parts or cracked 

welds, and repair as necessary.

Lubricate all grease fittings.

Check Chain Tension. See Chain Tension Adjustments

Oil Drive & Rake Chains.

Check four Taper Lock Adapter assemblies, tighten as  

necessary, See Bearing Lock Adjustment.

Check Drive Chain, Sprockets and Shafts for wear. Replace 

as necessary.

WARNING!   Escaping hydraulic / diesel fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin 

causing serious injury. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost 

invisible. Use a piece of cardboard or wood, rather than hands to search for 

suspected leaks.

 

Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as 

possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may de

-

velop gangrene or other permanent disabilities. If injured by injected fluid, 

see a doctor at once.

 

Stop the engine and relieve pressure before connecting or disconnecting 

lines. Tighten all connections before starting engine or pressurizing lines
