6 General Maintenance
Before Starting
Before Starting
You can perform much of the maintenance required by your MS.
For your safety, read all of the information in this introduction
before performing any maintenance tasks.
Scheduled maintenance
Common maintenance tasks are listed in Table 9. Performing
these tasks when scheduled can reduce operating problems,
prolong system life, and reduce overall operating costs.
Keep a record of system performance (tune reports) and
maintenance operations performed. This makes it easier to
identify variations from normal operation and to take
corrective action.
