Machines work hard in the heat. Be sure to service yours to minimize downtime. Here’s a Summer Service checklist to get you started: * Check the engine oil and filter. When were they last serviced? * Check the hydraulic oil and filter. When were they last serviced? * Inspect hydraulic hoses, pistons, manifolds, and connections. * Check the battery for proper charge. Any corrosion? * Check the fuel system, lines, fuel filter, fuel/water separator. How old is the fuel? * Check the engine cooling fan belt. Check the radiator. Does it need to be cleaned? * Check the engine coolant level, hoses, & clamps. When was it last serviced? * Check the engine air filter and air intake. Change the filter as necessary. * Inspect the electrical wiring. Look for any loose or frayed wiring. * Inspect the trailer axle assembly and suspension. * Also, check the tires, inflation, wear, condition. * Check the wheel lug nuts are tight. * Check the wheel bearing oil reservoir. * Check that the trailer brakes and safety brake are functioning properly. * Confirm that the trailer lights are operational. * As part of the summer service, inspect the drive train items: drive chain, gearbox splines, drum motor couplings, drive bar hubs, and drive assemblies. * Grease the pillow block bearings and other rotational assemblies. * Inspect the pulling rope – look for broken, frayed, or worn areas. * Inspect the rope grips. Remove any electrical tape to inspect underneath. * In addition, address any items that are worn, corroded, cracked, or damaged per your company’s policy. Safety First!
