Section 02 
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE… 
 

This  section  provides  information  specific  to  the 
LEGACY3  that  will  be  the  basis  for  your  P-M  program. 

Preventive  maintenance  actions  are  done  to  assure  the 
LEGACY3  will  efficiently  and  safely  collect  garbage  for 

many years. 
 
At the core of your preventive maintenance activities will 

be 

three 

major needs… 

 

Keeping  all  of  the  Legacy3’s  safety  related  systems  in 

good working condition. 

 

A regular lubrication/greasing discipline. 

 

Keeping the Legacy3’s hydraulic fluid clean. 

 

Preventive maintenance will extend beyond these 

three, 

but  they  deserve  special  mention  and  your  special 
attention. 

 
Read and understand all of the safety precautions given 

in this manual. The very nature of the P-M activities will 
sometimes  require  service/maintenance  people  to  be 

inside of, underneath of, or on top of 

the LEGACY3. 

 
Your  shop’s 

safety 

policies  and  procedures  must  be 

followed.  Be  certain  your  shop  has  a  detailed 
LOCKOUT/TAGOUT  policy  in  place  and  be  certain  all 
service/maintenance people understand it and follow it. 

 
 The  service  and  maintenance  people  must  understand 

the  safety  precautions  stated  for  the  various,  specific 
service/maintenance procedures. 

 
The  service/maintenance  people  must  also  have  a 
thorough understanding of correct Legacy3 OPERATION 

methods  and  follow  all  of  the 

operational

  safety 

precautions and those that apply to service/maintenance 

activities. 
 
 

 
P-M  activities  follow  a  periodic 

schedule

.  A  record-

keeping  system  of  some  sort  is  invaluable,  if  not 
mandatory. Many of today’s maintenance record keeping 

systems are computerized. LOADMASTER has attempted 
to  keep  things  simple  and  realistic  in  this  manual’s 
recommendations  for  periodic  preventive  maintenance. 

The  time  periods/frequencies  are  stated  in  plain 
“calendar”  terms.  Many  record-keeping  systems  are 

based upon “hours” given by the vehicles “hour meter”. 
 
Use these conversions to suit your situation… 

 

Every day means 8 hours 

 

Every week means 40 hours 

 

Once a month means about 160 hours 

 

Every six months means 1,000 hours 

 

Once a year means about 2,000 hours 

 
You  can  “tweak”  these  intervals  a  little  bit  to  suit  your 
specific  situation  for 

grouping

  P-M  actions  so  that  the 

real  world  logistics  of 

getting  them  done 

is  the  most 

practical. Use your best judgment.  

 
Occasionally,  LOADMASTER  may  mail  bulletins  with 

additional  or  updated  product  information.  Keep  those 
bulletins with this manual and make hand written notes 
at the appropriate places in this manual referencing the 

updated information.
