Regularly inspect and maintain the hydraulic system. Check the fluid level and condition, and replace the hydraulic filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 300-500 hours).
Keep the fuel system clean by using fuel additives to prevent algae growth and water accumulation, especially during seasonal storage. Drain the fuel sediment bowl regularly.
