- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 500 hours to maintain optimal performance and prevent contamination.
- Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and consider adding a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent fuel degradation and algae growth. Drain the fuel/water separator regularly.
