SERVICE AND GUIDELINES
General
The following information is provided to assist you in
the use and application of servicing and maintenance
procedures contained in this book.
Safety and Workmanship
Your safety, and that of others, is the first consideration
when engaging in the maintenance of equipment.
Always be conscious of weight. Never attempt to move
heavy parts without the aid of a mechanical device. Do
not allow heavy objects to rest in an unstable position.
When raising a portion of the equipment, ensure that
adequate support is provided.
Cleanliness
1. The most important single item in preserving the
long service life of a machine is to keep dirt and for-
eign materials out of the vital components. Precau-
tions have been taken to safeguard against this.
Shields, covers, seals, and filters are provided to
keep air, fuel, and oil supplies clean; however, these
items must be maintained on a scheduled basis in
order to function properly.
2. At any time when air, fuel, or oil lines are discon-
nected, clean adjacent areas as well as the open-
ings and fittings themselves. As soon as a line or
component is disconnected, cap or cover all open-
ings to prevent entry of foreign matter.
3. Clean and inspect all parts during servicing or
maintenance, and assure that all passages and
openings are unobstructed. Cover all parts to keep
them clean. Be sure all parts are clean before they
are installed. New parts should remain in their con-
tainers until they are ready to be used.
