MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Regular maintenance is the key to long equipment life and safe operation. Maintenance
requirements have been reduced to an absolute minimum. However, it is very important that
these maintenance functions be performed as described below.
Procedure
Daily
Every 40
hours
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.
Check for missing or illegible Safety / Warning Decals.
Check filter on vacuum assembly (if so equipped).
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.
