Regular Maintenance
It is impossible to over emphasise the importance of regular maintenance, inspection and running adjustments
to maintain efficiency and obtain trouble free service from the machine.
Attention is drawn to the recommendation in the Auxiliary Engine Handbook relating to the post delivery check
over.
The maintenance schedule specified are for average operating conditions. Under particularly dry and dusty
conditions, it is essential that more frequent attention is given to:
1 Air cleaner servicing
2 Engine oil changes
3 Fluid oil changes
4 Gearbox oil changes
5 Hydraulic oil changes
Attention to the servicing of air cleaners fitted to both auxiliary and vehicle engines is of vital importance as
clean air is essential for the proper functioning and ultimate life of an engine. Badly serviced air cleaners can
allow dust particles to be directly induced into the internal working surfaces with a resulting rapid increase
in engine wear and eventually complete failure. This also applies to any air leaks occurring between the air
cleaner and the engine inlet manifold. See separate instructions for Air Cleaner Servicing.
It is important that the following Safety Precautions are observed when working on the machine.
