6.2 Oil Changes
• Oil changes must be carried out after first 100 hours of operation, and
subsequently after every 2500 hours or at least every 12 months. These intervals
may be modified depending on actual operating conditions.
• Oil should be changed when hot to prevent build up of sludge deposits.
• It is advisable to check oil level at least once per month. If more than 10% of the
total capacity has to be added, check for oil leaks.
• Do not mix oils of different types, even if produced by the same manufacturer.
• Never mix mineral and synthetic oils.
• To avoid the risk of scalding or burns, pay attention to oil and power end
temperature during an oil change.
• Follow environmental guidelines when changing and disposing of lubricants.
