Synesso™ recommends that you contact your distributor or service agent for periodic maintenance. The fre-
quency of maintenance visits will depend on a variety of factors including how much use the machine re-
ceives, but at least one preventave maintenance visit per year is required. During this yearly service, all
body panels must be removed and all connecons both electrical and hydraulic must be inspected. Small
problems can become large if not caught early.
