CHECKS AFTER INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
If you forget to perform the inspection and maintenance, unexpected problems may occur, and this may lead to
personal injury. Always observe the following.
Checks after operation (with engine stopped)
• Have any inspection and maintenance points been forgotten?
• Have all inspection and maintenance items been performed correctly?
• Have any tools or parts been dropped inside the machine? It is particularly dangerous if parts are dropped
inside the machine and get caught in the lever linkage mechanism.
• Are there any leakage of coolant or oil? Have all nuts and bolts been tightened?
Checks while the engine is running
For details of the checks when the engine is running, see SAFETY, “2 WORKERS FOR MAINTENANCE WHEN
ENGINE IS RUNNING (2-33)” and pay attention to safety.
• Increase the engine speed to check for the leakage of fuel or oil.
• Check if the inspected and serviced area is normally operated.
FUEL AND LUBRICANTS TO MATCH THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
It is necessary to select fuel or lubricant according to the ambient temperature.
For details, see “RECOMMENDED FUEL, COOLANT, AND LUBRICANT (7-6)”.
