5 Maintenance Pre- and post-work checks Before starting work in mud, rain, snow or at the seashore, check plugs and valves for tightness. Wash the machine immediately after the work to protect components from rusting. Lubricate components more frequently than usual. Be sure to lubricate work equipment pins daily if they are submerged in water. On worksites where heavy-duty operations are common, reduce the maintenance and lubricating intervals. Dusty worksites When working at dusty worksites, take the following precautions: Inspect the air cleaner clogging warning lamp to see whether the air cleaner is blocked. Clean the air cleaner more frequently than specified.
Clean the radiator core frequently to avoid clogging. Clean and replace the fuel filter frequently. Clean electrical components, especially the starter and alternator to avoid accumulation of dust. Avoid mixing oils Never mix oils of different brands. If you have only oil which is dif ferent from the oil brand used in the machine, do not add it but replace the entire oil. 5-12 WA90-5 – VEAM270100
