MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
To keep the machine in good condition and
use if for a long period, perform the
inspection and maintenance properly and
safely following the procedures
recommended by this manual.
The inspection and maintenance items are
divided into groups according to the
machine’s total operating time: every 10
hours (walk-around and daily inspection),
every 50 hours, every 250 hours, etc. Refer
to the hour meter readings to determine
when to schedule an inspection and
maintenance. Items for which it is not
possible to determine the inspection and
maintenance interval are included under
“When Required”.
When operating the machine in extremely
harsh environments (with high dust levels or
high temperatures), inspection and
maintenance should be performed earlier
than the times specified on the Maintenance
List.
GENERAL
CAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE

maintenance works than those listed in this

For works not listed in this manual, ask your
sales or a service dealer for help.
Keep the machine clean

inspection and maintenance and try to
keep it clean.

wash the battery, electronic control
components, sensors, connectors or the
operator’s compartment.
Fuel, lubricant and grease

not contain water, and be careful to keep
dirt out when changing or replenishing fuel,
lubricant or grease.
• Store fuels, lubricants and greases in the
prescribed places and in such a way that
no water or dirt can get in them.
Cautions on refueling
• If the port includes a strainer, do not
remove the strainer when fueling.
• After fueling, be sure to securely tighten the
fuel filler cap.
• Do not add more than the specified
amount of fuel.
