The information in this section is written for operators who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help, your dealer has trained service technicians available. For your protection, read and follow the safety informa- tion in this manual.

„Before performing any service or maintenance, lower attachment to ground, turn off power unit engine, remove key, and disconnect battery ground cable (negative -).

Before working underneath, read manual instructions, securely block up, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment from drop- ping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system failure, or mechanical component failure.

„Keep all persons away from operator control area while performing adjustments, service, or maintenance.

CAUTION

„Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.

4.Add oil as necessary.

Change Engine Oil

NOTICE

Use care to prevent hot oil from contacting bare skin.

1.Run engine to allow oil to become hot. This will ensure that most foreign materials are in suspension and will be flushed out with the oil.

2.Remove drain plug and drain crankcase.

3.Remove oil filter.

4.Install new oil filter.

5.Install drain plug and add oil.

NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for oil specifica- tions, capacity, service rating, and proper grade.

Engine Coolant

LUBRICATION INFORMATION

1.Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

2.See Figure 6 for lubrication points and frequency or lubrication based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

3.Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is followed.
