5.2 Maintenance Requirements
In this manual, periodic maintenance requirements are organized by service intervals. For detailed instructions,
refer to the specific headings in this section.
Regular maintenance is the best insurance against early wear and breakdowns. Use the following schedule and
recommendations to increase machine life.
• Use fluids and lubricants specified on the inside back cover.
• Make copies of the 5.2.1 Maintenance Schedule/Record, page 122 and log the hours of operation.
Where a service interval is given with 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 operated under adverse
conditions (severe dust, extra heavy loads, etc.).
CAUTION
Carefully follow safety messages given in 1 Safety, page 1.
