6.2 GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to performing any service or maintenance on the telehandler, follow the
“Shut-Down Procedure” on page 3-4 unless otherwise instructed. Ensure
telehandler is level for proper fluid readings.
• Clean lubrication fittings before lubricating.
• After greasing telehandler, cycle all functions several times to distribute
lubricants. Perform this maintenance procedure without attachment installed.
• Apply a light coating of engine oil to all linkage pivot points.
• Intervals shown are for normal usage and conditions. Adjust intervals for
abnormal usage and conditions.
• Drain engine and gear cases after operating when oil is hot.
• Check all lubricant levels when lubricant is cool, with the exception of the
transmission fluid. For ease of filling hydraulic reservoir, use a funnel with a hose
or flexible tube for best results.
Note: Be certain to check boom chain adjustment every 5 weeks or 250 hours and
adjust as required. Chain damage can occur if chain is not adjusted properly.
WARNING
CUT/CRUSH/BURN HAZARD. Do not perform service or maintenance on the
machine with the engine running, with the exception of the transmission fluid level
check. Failure to comply could cause death or serious injury.
