Foreword
Maintenance
The maintenance section is a guide to equipment care.
The Maintenance Interval Schedule lists the items to be
maintained at a specific service interval. The Maintenance
Interval Schedule lists the page number for the step-by-
step instructions required to accomplish the scheduled
maintenance procedure.
Maintenance Intervals
Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals.
Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) can be
used instead of service hour meter intervals if they provide
more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the
indicated service hour meter reading. Recommended service
should always be performed at the interval that occurs first.
Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions,
more frequent lubrication than is specified in the maintenance
intervals chart might be necessary.
Perform service on items at multiples of the original
requirement. For example, at every 100 service hours, also
service those items listed under every 50 service hours and
every 10 service hours or daily.
Certified Engine Maintenance
Proper maintenance and repair is essential to keep the engine
and machine systems operating correctly. As the heavy duty
off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the required
maintenance listed in the Engine Owner Manual & Machine
Operator, Maintenance & Service Manual.
Attach a “Do Not Operate” warning tag or a similar warning
tag to the start switch or to the controls before you service
the equipment or before you repair the equipment.
Know the width of your equipment in order to maintain proper
clearance with you operate the equipment near fences or
near boundary obstacles.
Be aware of high voltage power lines and power cables
that are buried. If the machine comes in contact with these
hazards, serious injury or death may occur from electrocution.
Wear a hard hat, protective glasses, and other protective
equipment, as required.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can snag on
controls or on other parts of the equipment.
Make sure that all protective guards and all covers are secured
in place on the equipment.
Keep the equipment free from foreign material. Remove
debris, oil, tools, and other items from the deck, from walkways,
and from steps.
Secure all loose items such as lunch boxes, tools, and other
items that are not a part of the equipment.
Know the appropriate work site hand signals and the personnel
that are authorized to give the hand signals. Accept hand
signals from one person only.
Do not smoke when you service an air conditioner. Also, do
not smoke if refrigerant gas may be present. Inhaling the fumes
that are released from a flame that contact air conditioner
refrigerant can cause bodily harm or death. Inhaling gas
from air conditioner refrigerant through a lighted cigarette
can cause bodily harm or death.
Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers. Drain
all liquids into a suitable container.
Obey all local regulations for the disposal of liquids.
Use all cleaning solutions with care. Report all necessary
repairs.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel on the equipment.
Unless you are instructed otherwise, perform maintenance
with the equipment in the servicing position. Refer to
Operation and Maintenance Manual for the procedure for
placing the equipment in the servicing position. When you
perform maintenance above ground level, use appropriate
devices such as ladders or man lift machines. If equipped,
use the machine anchorage points and use approved fall
arrest harnesses and lanyards.
