The following maintenance section gives suggested guidelines for operational maintenance on your machine. It is not
intended for use as a service manual.
In severe conditions (extreme dust, heat, cold, humidity, etc.) you will need to service your machine more often. Your
experience will dictate a more severe servicing program.

Read and understand warnings and safety precautions in Safety Summary and elsewhere in this manual before doing
any service on machine. The following precautions should be used as a reminder to safe servicing.
SAFETY WHILE SERVICING
REMEMBER: SAFETY FIRST!
Always shut down the machine and lower the boom and
attachment to the ground before working on the ma-
chine. If necessary to work on a lifted boom or attach-
ment, securely support the boom and attachment so that
they cannot move or fall in any way.
Don't leave loose tools and rags on the
machine. Ensure that all walking and climbing surfaces
are clean.

cally authorized by Barko Hydraulics. Any unauthorized
welding or welding procedures will void the warranty,
and may cause death, severe injury, property damage or
structural damage to the machine.
Do not support the machine on cinder blocks, hollow
tiles, or props that may crumble under a load. Do not
work under a machine that is supported solely by a jack.
Check the Hour Meter regularly to determine when the
machine needs periodic maintenance. Use the intervals
on the Service Schedule except when operating in ex-
treme conditions; then shorter intervals must be used.
