214683 385 Revision A
5.3 Maintenance Requirements
Regular maintenance is the best insurance against early wear and untimely breakdowns. Following the
maintenance schedule will increase your machine’s life. Log hours of operation, use the maintenance record, and
keep copies of your maintenance records (refer to 5.3.1 Maintenance Schedule/Record, page 385).
Periodic maintenance requirements are organized according to service intervals. If a service interval specifies more
than one timeframe, e.g., 100 hours or annually, service the machine at whichever interval is reached first.
IMPORTANT:
Recommended intervals are for average conditions. Service the machine more often if operating under adverse
conditions (severe dust, extra heavy loads, etc.).
When servicing the machine, refer to the appropriate section in this Maintenance and Servicing chapter and use
only specified fluids and lubricants. Refer to inside back cover for recommended fluids and lubricants.
CAUTION
Carefully follow safety messages. Refer to 5.1 Preparing Machine for Servicing, page 383 and 1 Safety,
page 1.
