|
Liquid-cooled
|
Maintenance
|
Service Intervals
|
Engine Oil Change:
|
Typically every 250-500 operating hours, or annually. (Manual will specify exact interval and oil type).
|
Hydraulic Oil Change:
|
Generally every 500-1000 operating hours or annually. (Manual will detail specific fluid and interval).
|
Air Filter Replacement:
|
As needed based on operating conditions, typically checked daily and replaced when visibly dirty or at specified intervals (e.g., 250 hours). (Manual will provide precise guidance).
