Maintaining the Machine under Special Operating
Conditions
Important:
If the machine is subjected to any of the conditions listed below, perform maintenance
twice as frequently:
•
Desert operation
•
Cold climate operation—below 10°C (50°F)
•
Trailer towing
•
Frequent operation in dusty conditions
•
Construction work
•
After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or similar dirty conditions, do the following:
– Have your brakes inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. This prevents any abrasive material
from causing excessive wear.
– Wash the machine using water alone or with a mild detergent.
Important:
Do not use brackish or reclaimed water to clean the machine.
