MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance
requirements have been reduced to the absolute minimum. However, it is very important that
these maintenance functions be performed as described below.
DAILY

Check all bolts and nuts for tightness.

Replace any missing bolts or nuts with approved replacement parts.

Check hydraulic system for hydraulic oil leaks. See procedure below.

Visually inspect the machine for worn parts or cracked welds, and repair
as necessary.
EVERY 40 HOURS

Lubricate all grease fittings.
WARNING! Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate the skin,
causing serious personal 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
develop gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar
with this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to determine proper
treatment.
