4.0 MAINTENANCE

The following is a list of various maintenance operations to be
carried out periodically. Reduced operating costs and a longer
lasting equipment depend, among other things, on the methodical
and constant observation of these rules.
- The maintenance periods listed in this manual are only in-
tended as a general indication and apply to normal operating
conditions. They may, therefore, vary depending on service
conditions, dust factors, seasonal factors, etc. For heavier
conditions of service, maintenance will, of course, have to
be carried out more frequently.
- Before injecting grease, the nipples must be cleaned to
prevent mud, dust and foreign bodies from mixing with the
grease which would reduce or totally annul the effect of the
lubrication.
- Always keep oils and grease out of the reach of children.
- Always read the warnings and precautions on the containers
carefully.
- Avoid skin-contact
- After use wash thoroughly.
- Dispose of the used oils and polluting liquids in conformity
with the laws in force.
