Recommended Maintenance

---

Oil is the lifeblood of any internal combustion engine.  Before delivery, we replaced the oil with Chevron Delo 400 XSP SAE 15W-40.  We chose this heavy duty engine oil for its ability to perform under harsh conditions.  

We recommend your initial oil change at 10 hours of use

Whatever brand you choose, we strongly recommend using a 15W-40 full synthetic grade oil to protect your investment.  We recommend oil change intervals every 25 hours with a new filter

We recommend readjustment of all bolts after five to 10 hours of use.  Special attention should be given to the swing motor bolts

We recommend readjustment of the drive tracks after five to 10 hours of use.  The drive tracks should have no more than one inch of deflection

We recommend replacement of all filters as needed or at least every 50 hours of operation

The grease fittings should be greased every five to 10 hours of operation

We recommend the use of molybdenum grease for its heavy-duty, high-pressure protection

We recommend replacement of the hydraulic oil and filter every 100 hours of operation.  Before delivery, we filled your machine with a high quality AW 46 hydraulic oil

We recommend the engine valve lash be checked and adjusted as needed every 100 hours of operation.  Rato specifications are found on the information page

We recommend all coolant should be replaced every 5 years or 250 hours of operation.  All other recommendations are found in the individual product manuals
