DEFINITIONS Service point Unit or system where the prescribed maintenance work has to be performed (e.g. engine, hydraulic, PTO etc.).

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Thoroughly clean all grease fittings, caps and plugs before lubri- cating. Seals must be replaced when oil drain plugs and oil level plugs have been opened. Fill-up fuel tank at the end of the shift to prevent condensation of moisture. It is recommended to carry-out oil change in assemblies when they are still at operating temperature to speed up draining. Avoid direct contact of hot oil with your skin. Hot oil can cause personal injury. 282 WARNING
