Maintenance schedule
The description applies generally for all engines unless otherwise stated. Some of the maintenance points deal with extra equipment or options, for example, for classifiable
engines. The Maintenance schedule also shows which service intervals apply for the TAMD162C, TAMD163A or TAMD163P engines.
If longer oil change intervals are required than those stated below the oil’s condition must be tested
regularly by submitting oil test samples for analysis by the oil manufacturer.
The time intervals are guides which apply to normal operating conditions. For new or reconditioned
engines see under the heading. “Running-in” on page 4.
Every day before starting the engine (or every 8 hours in continuous operation) check the engine oil
level, engine coolant level, the air cleaner (ACL) pressure drop indicator and the reverse gear oil level.
All points must be checked at least once every year with the exception of points 18, 22, 28, 30 and 31
even if the operating times stated are not reached. Points 18, 22, 28, 30 and 31 apply every other year.
NOTE! Always turn the engine off before starting service procedures.
