SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
The service life and reliability of any machine depends upon the care it is given. Proper lubrication and maintenance is a vital part of that care. Using the Lubrication and Maintenance Chart as a guide, moni- tor the hourmeter on the instrument panel to ensure the required maintenance procedures are performed. The maintenance schedule reflects the minimal requirements to maintain the equipment. More fre- quent inspections and maintenance is preferable.
Make certain that all lubrication fittings are installed and functioning. Wipe away all old grease and dirt from the lube fittings to prevent foreign materials from entering as the new grease is applied. Use a
pressure lubricating gun to force in new grease. Apply pressure until clean grease emerges from the lubrication point.
Miscellaneous working parts not provided with lubrication fittings should be oiled regularly with a good grade of lubricating oil.
Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it. Worn parts can be expensive to replace.
Store your supply of lubricating grease and oil in clean, covered containers to protect them from dust and dirt. Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean.
