Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic hoses and fittings for leaks regularly. Replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours or as recommended in the operator's manual to prevent contamination and maintain optimal performance.
Fuel System: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel. Drain the fuel tank sediment bowl regularly to remove water and debris. Replace the fuel filter annually or after every 500 hours of operation to prevent fuel starvation and engine damage.
