7.2 GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to performing any service or maintenance on the telehandler, follow the
shut-down procedure on page 4-4 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. 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 500 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 hydraulic return filter
indicator checks.
