GUIDES TO MAINTENANCE
DUSTY WORKSITES:
When working at dusty worksites, do as follows:
Inspect the dust indicator more frequently to see if the air cleaner is clogged.
Clean the air cleaner element at a shorter interval than specified.
On machines equipped with an air cleaner clogging monitor, the check can be carried out with the monitor.
Clean the radiator core frequently to avoid clogging.
Clean and replace the fuel filter frequently.
Clean electrical components, especially the starting motor and alternator, to avoid accumulation of dust.
When inspecting or changing the oil, move the machine to a place that is free of dust to prevent dirt from getting
into the oil.
AVOID MIXING OILS:
If a different brand or grade of oil has to be added, drain the old oil and replace all the oil with the new brand or grade
of oil. Never mix different brand or grade of oil.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING ENGINE SIDE COVER:
When standing on track to open the engine side cover, adopt a
standing position, hold the side cover with both thumbs, and
open it slowly with your other fingers.
LOCKING INSPECTION COVERS:
Lock inspection cover securely into position with the lock bar. If inspection or maintenance is performed with
inspection cover not locked in position, there is a danger that it may be suddenly blow shut by the wind and cause
injury to the worker.
BLEEDING AIR:
When hydraulic equipment has been repaired or replaced, or the hydraulic piping has been removed and installed
again, the air must be bled from the circuit. For details, see "BLEEDING AIR IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM (PAGE
4-43)".
PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING HYDRAULIC HOSES:
When removing parts at locations where there are O-rings or gasket seals, clean the mounting surface, and
replace with new parts.
When doing this, be careful not to forget to assemble the O-rings and gaskets.
When installing the hoses, do not twist them or bend them sharply. If they are installed so, their service life will
be shortened extremely and they may be damaged.
