General Service Information
Machine productivity, longevity and low cost performance depend on periodic
maintenance, troubleshooting and proper service and adjustment procedures.
As the operator, it is your responsibility to detect any unusual sounds, odors or other signs
of abnormal performance that could indicate trouble ahead.
By detecting any malfunctions in their early stages, you can save yourself unnecessary
downtime and your employer a lot of money! Therefore, it is also your responsibility to use
good judgement in detecting potential problems in the early stages and repairing them
quickly. If you don’t, one problem may lead to another.
Before attempting to make a repair, ask yourself IF you have the RIGHT TOOLS, IF you
have the PROPER TEST EQUIPMENT and IF you can accurately DIAGNOSE the cause of
the malfunction.
If you can’t answer YES to all three questions, rely on your distributor serviceman. He has
the tools, testing equipment and service knowledge to pinpoint the problem in minutes
instead of the hours consumed in hit - or - miss methods. TIME IS MONEY! He will save it
for you.
If you decide to attempt a repair yourself, follow a logical TROUBLE-SHOOTING
PROCEDURE. Don’t simply replace parts until the trouble is found.
Once the cause of a problem or malfunction has been diagnosed, take the corrective action
specified in this manual. Follow the procedures given for the specific problem. If the
difficulty is not covered, consult your Distributor Serviceman.
NOTE: A time table styled check list for periodic maintenance requirements is given
in Section 4. Maintenance check procedures are found under each of the respective
subject headings.
When performing maintenance on a vehicle ALWAYS PLACE THE SHIFT LEVER
IN THE NEUTRAL POSITION, set the parking brakes, block the vehicle’s wheels,
and NEVER work under, in front of, or in back of a vehicle when the engine is
running.
The methods used to remove assemblies, guards, cab panels, etc. is left to the discretion
of the customer dependent on the type of overhaul equipment and maintenance personnel
at hand.
Keep parts in order when large components are disassembled, particularly so when it has a
great number of similar parts. Loosely reassemble assemblies whenever possible to
prevent small parts from being lost. Keep subassembly parts together, but be careful not to
get right and left hand parts mixed up.
When an assembly is removed to correct only one difficulty, it is good practice to
recondition the whole assembly at the time thus avoiding repetition of work at a later date.
