MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
DAILY MAINTENANCE - These can be carried out by a trained operator.
Check the following items:
1
Oil level in hydraulic reservoir - top up if required.
2
Auxiliary engine oil level - top up if required.
3
Auxiliary engine radiator level - top up if required.
4
Auxiliary engine radiator is not obstructed.
5
Filter state indicator - service air filter if red.
6
Mesh screen in body is clean and fitted correctly.
7
Mechanical damage to brush gear and report damage to Supervisor.
8
Brushes for adjustment and wear - adjust or replace as required.
9
Spray jets for correct operation - clean if necessary.
10
With the nozzle (pick-up head) lowered, check nozzle (pick-up hood) suspension springs
for proper tension. The springs should be tensioned just enough to allow the skids to lightly
contact the road surface. If the spring tension is inadequate, the hood will drag heavily on
the road surface, resulting in premature skid wear.
11
Check channel brush(es) (gutter brooms) for proper adjustment. The brush angle should be
set using the adjuster bolts so that only about 120
o
of the circumference towards front and
kerbside is in contact with the road.
12
Oil/water/fuel leakages.
13
Chassis items as recommended in chassis manufacturer’s handbook.
