- Regularly inspect and maintain the hydraulic system, including checking fluid levels, inspecting hoses for leaks, and replacing the hydraulic filter every 500 hours to prevent contamination and ensure proper operation of implements.
- Use a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent fuel degradation and protect the fuel system from corrosion. Drain the sediment bowl regularly to remove water and debris.
