Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) may be used instead of service hour meter intervals if they provide more convenient servicing schedules and approximate the indicated service hour meter reading. Recommended service should always be performed at the interval that occurs first.Under extremely severe, dusty or wet operating conditions, more frequent lubrication than is specified in the "Maintenance Interval" chart may be necessary.Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at "Every 500 Service Hours or 3 Months," also service those items listed under "Every 250 Service Hours or Monthly" and "Every 50 Service Hours or Weekly" and "Every 10 Service Hours or Daily."Machine Description
