7 Care and maintenance
7.1 General notes
The good operating condition and life expectancy of machines are largely influenced by
care and maintenance.
For this reason, it is in every machine owner’s interest to perform the specified
maintenance work and comply with the service intervals. This section deals in detail
with periodic maintenance, inspection and lubricating tasks.
Furthermore, during the warranty period three thorough inspections are stipulated,
which must be carried out by trained specialist personnel.
Type-specific maintenance and inspection plans for this purpose are contained in every
instruction book and every warranty certificate.
Note
Service and wearing parts for inspections should be ordered well in advance!
Inspection intervals
1st inspection - after approx. 100 operating hours
2nd inspection - after approx. 500 operating hours
3rd inspection - after approx.1,000 operating hours
subsequently, every 500 operating hours
Note
The three inspections are obligatory and must be paid for.
If they are omitted, the warranty may be subject to restrictions.
It is essential that the recommendations in chapter 2, “Accident Prevention”, are
observed.
