Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Consult specific manual for precise interval and oil type.
Air Filter Replacement:
Inspect every 50 hours, replace every 200-400 hours or as needed based on operating conditions (dusty environments require more frequent checks).
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Typically every 200-400 hours or annually. Bleeding the fuel system after replacement is crucial.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Often recommended every 200-400 hours or annually, depending on usage and fluid condition. Filter replacement concurrent with fluid change is standard practice.
