Premaintenance
Procedures
Maintaining the Machine under
Special Operating Conditions
If the machine is subjected to any of the conditions listed
below, maintenance should be performed twice as frequently.
•
Desert operation
•
Cold climate operation—below 10° C (50° F)
•
Trailer towing
•
After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or similar
dirty conditions, have your brakes inspected and cleaned
as soon as possible. This will prevent any abrasive
material from causing excessive wear.

Lifting the Machine

Whenever the machine is run for routine maintenance and/or
motor diagnostics, the rear wheels of the machine should be
25 mm (1 inch) off the ground with the rear axle supported
on jack stands.
DANGER
The machine may be unstable when using a jack. It
could slip off the jack, injuring anyone beneath it.
• Do not start the machine while the machine is
on a jack.
• Always remove the key from the On/Off switch
before getting off of the machine.
• Block the tires when the machine is on a jack.
The jacking point at the front of the machine is on the front
of the frame behind the towing tongue (Figure 23).
The jacking point at the rear of the machine is under the axle
tubes (Figure 24).
