Maintenance Interval Schedule - Standard

SMCS - 1000; 4450; 7500

Ensure that all safety information, warnings and instructions are read and understood before any
operation or any maintenance procedures are performed.

The user is responsible for the performance of maintenance, including all adjustments, the use of proper
lubricants, fluids, filters, and the replacement of components due to normal wear and aging. Failure to
adhere to proper maintenance intervals and procedures may result in diminished performance of the
product and/or accelerated wear of components.

Use mileage, fuel consumption, service hours, or calendar time, WHICH EVER OCCURS FIRST, in
order to determine the maintenance intervals. Products that operate in severe operating conditions may
require more frequent maintenance.

Note: Before each consecutive interval is performed, all maintenance from the previous interval must be
performed.
