7.2 General information
7.2.1 Maintenance and wearing parts
A list of maintenance and wearing parts appears
in the spare parts catalog included in the scope
of supply.
Contact your dealer in good time, so that all
parts are available for the inspection.
Fuels, lubricants and coolants
The machine’s service life and working order
are largely dependent upon the use of the
specified fuels, lubricants and coolants, as
well as compliance with service intervals.
If fuels, lubricants and coolants which do not
conform to our recommendations are used,
consequential damage may occur for which
we will not assume liability, even within the
warranty period.

7.2.2 Disposal of fuels, lubricants and
coolants
When changing fuels, lubricants
and coolants (e.g. engine oil, lubri-
cating oil, hydraulic fluid, fuel, etc.)
care must be taken to ensure that
these fluids do not seep into the
ground. Suitable containers must
be used to collect them. However, if
they do seep into the ground, the
leak must be stopped immediately
and the fluid bound with suitable
binding agents. If necessary, the
soil affected must be removed.
Binding agents and removed soil
must be disposed of properly. The
environmental standards currently
valid must be observed.
7.2.3 Regular oil analyses
Rather than questioning the specified oil
change intervals, oil analyses are designed to
identify potential for reducing maintenance
costs and detect imminent damage, as well as
increase environmental awareness.
Advantages of an oil analysis
Extension of the oil change intervals under
standard or light-duty operating conditions.
Minimum wear of high-quality components
with optimum use of the lubricants.
Periodic laboratory analyses enable an early
detection of imminent damage.
Repairs performed before they actually be-
come absolutely necessary help prevent se-
rious and unexpected damage.
Resulting damage will also be prevented.
How often should the oil be analyzed?
Regular oil analysis will indicate any develop-
ing trends in the state of the oil and the ma-
chine.
Upon reaching the scheduled oil change time,
oils should be analyzed at the following inter-
vals in order to check their quality and thus
extend oil change intervals:
Hydraulic oil: 500 operating hours
Based on the first results, the laboratory rec-
ommends the interval for the next sampling.
Ask your TEREX | Fuchs dealer for an infor-
mation leaflet specifying the scope and pro-
cedures involved.
