MISCELLANEOUS MAINTENANCE
170/178
SEVERE SERVICE APPLICATION
An engine that operates outside of normal conditions
is operating in a severe service application.
In severe service application, an engine may need
more frequent maintenance in order to maximize relia-
bility and service life.
It is impossible to list all conceivable conditions that
may lead to severe service application but most fall in
the following categories:
» severe environmental factors (such as altitude,
high ambient temperatures, dirty air, etc.);
» severe operating conditions (such as frequent cold
starts, low quality fuel, hot shut downs, etc.);
» improper maintenance procedure (for examples
improper parts, using fluids not recommended,
extending maintenance intervals, etc.).
Contact your Prinoth representative for information on
how to modify maintenance practices to minimize the
impacts of these elements.
ENGINE OPERATING HOURS
The hourmeter, which shows the operating hours on
the LCD display, is activated when the ignition key is in
the “Run” position.
The maintenance schedule is based on the number of
hours logged by the engine ECM.
