4.15 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
A good maintenance program is the key to long machine life. Follow a regular schedule of inspection and
servicing, based on operating hours. Keep an accurate logbook for maintenance, servicing and operating
hours. Use the factory recommended Periodic Maintenance schedule (based on favorable operating
conditions) to serve as a guide to get long and efficient machine life. Regular service periods are
recommended for normal service and operating conditions. For engine maintenance, refer to the engine
manual where a detailed description of service instructions is given. For continuous duty, extreme
temperature, etc., service more frequently. Neglecting routine maintenance can result in machine failure
or permanent damage.
WARNING
4.16 DAILY OPERATION
Prior to starting the machine, it is necessary to check the oil level in the sump. Should the level be low, add
the necessary amount. If the addition of oil become too frequent, a simple problem may have developed
which is causing this excessive loss. See the troubleshooting section under Excessive Oil Consumption for
a probable cause and remedy. Also check the linkage prior to starting.
NOTE: the radiator and engine cooling system should be drained and flushed every two years. Replace the
coolant with a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water. Do not use a leak sealing type of antifreeze.
Should a 100% water solution be used, a rust inhibitor must be added.
After a routine start has been made, observe the instrument panel gauges. After the machine has warmed
up, it its recommended that general check on the overall machine and instrument panel be made to assure
the compressor is running properly. Also check the air filter maintenance indicator (if supplied). Should
the indicators show red, clean or replace the elements immediately. (See engine manual.)
DO NOT REMOVE CAPS, PLUGS OR OTHER COMPONENTS WHEN COMPRESSOR
IS RUNNING OR PRESSURIZED. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY MAY RESULT. STOP
COMPRESSOR AND RELIEVE ALL INTERNAL PRESSURE BEFORE DOING SO.
