The Operation Section is a reference for the new operator and a refresher for the experienced one.
This section includes a discussion of gauges, switches, machine controls, attachment controls,
transportation and towing information.

Photographs and illustrations guide the operator through correct procedures of checking, starting,
operating and stopping the machine.
Operating techniques outlined in this publication are basic. Skill and techniques develop as the
operator gains knowledge of the machine and its capabilities.

Maintenance

The Maintenance Section is a guide to equipment care. The illustrated, step-by-step instructions are
grouped by servicing intervals. Items without specific intervals are listed under When Required
topics. Items in the Maintenance Intervals chart are referenced to detailed instructions that follow.

Maintenance Intervals

Use the service hour meter to determine servicing intervals. Calendar intervals shown (daily, weekly,
monthly, etc.) can 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 Intervals chart might be necessary.

Perform service on items at multiples of the original requirement. For example, at Every 500 Service
Hours or 6 Months, also service those items listed under Every 250 Service Hours or 3 Months and
Every 10 Service Hours or Daily.
