Regularly inspect and maintain the hydraulic system, checking for leaks, clean the hydraulic filters according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 500 hours, and replacing hydraulic fluid every 1000 hours.
Keep the fuel system clean by using a fuel filter and adding a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent gelling and algae growth. Regularly drain water from the fuel/water separator.
