Welds: Many items on the equipment are welded. To check these welds, look for chipped paint, rust, corrosion
or gaps.
3.
Electrical wires, connectors and harnesses: Tighten loose connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare
wires and broken connectors. If any are found, notify your supervisor.
4.
Hoses and fluid lines: Look for wear, damage and leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots
mean a leak. A stain by a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. When you find a leak, notify your supervisor.
Lubrication Service Intervals - Normal Conditions
For safer, more trouble free operations, make sure that your equipment is serviced when it needs it. For the proper
lubrication and service intervals, see the PMCS section of this manual.
Lubrication Service Intervals - Unusual Conditions
Your equipment will require extra service and care when you operate under unusual conditions. High or low
temperatures, long periods of hard use, or continued use in sand, mud or snow will break down the lubricant,
requiring you to add or change lubricant more often.
