designed to provide many years of reliable operation if properly
maintained. The following information will aid in proper maintenance.
1) During the first few hours/days of operation with a new machine,
check fasteners (bolts, nuts, ect.) on high vibration areas to ensure
tightness. Occasionally these will become loose while a machine is
starting up. Tighten any loose fasteners you might find. This should
not continue after 10 to 20 hours of operation, (hitch arm bolts,
hopper wing mounting bolts, ect.).
2) Replace fluids and filters as recommended in the Power Unit Maintenance
and Lubrication Points sections.
3) Refer to and follow recommendations in the Wear Check Points section.
4) Check and maintain all fluid levels daily.
5) Clean asphalt residue from hopper, screed augers, and anywhere else
it accumulates after each use. (Refer to Cleaning/Wash Down S ection)
6) Repair (touch up) paint chips, nicks and worn spots to prevent
exposing raw steel to the elements to help prevent rust.
7) Replace any decals that have been damaged, worn, or painted over.
