Section 20: Maintenance - 10 Service Hours or Daily
MACHINE - GREASE
  As a general rule, grease machine after it is shut down for the day. This protects the metal under the seals from
  corrosion caused by condensation as the temperature drops.
  Ensure all fittings and grease applicator nozzle are clean before applying grease. If any grease fittings are
  missing, replace them immediately.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE
  •     Check fluid levels.
  •     Check air cleaner indicator.
  •     Perform walk-around inspection.
  Refer to the Engine Operation Manual supplied with the machine for engine maintenance information.

FLUID LEVELS - CHECK
  Check fluid levels daily before operating the machine. Also, inspect machine and
  make any necessary adjustments and repairs before starting the engine. Refer to the
  Engine Operation Manual.

Engine Oil Level - Check
  With engine level, fill to full mark on dipstick. Do not overfill.
                                                                                                                       2

Hydraulic Fluid Level - Check
   Clean hydraulic fluid is very important. Do not spill dirt or other contaminants into
   the tank. Filter all hydraulic fluid through a 5-micron filter before adding it to the
   tank.
                                                                                                   1
   Keep tank filled to sight gauge level. Machine must be level and in transport position.
   Refer to “Lubricants,” page 65-1.
                                                                                                       2

Coolant Level - Check

                          WARNING: Hot fluid under pressure can scald.

                          Allow engine to cool before opening radiator cap.

  Fill to within 1/2˝ (13 mm) of bottom of fill pipe with a low-silicate (ethylene glycol)
  antifreeze and clean water mixture.
  NOTICE: Never add pure antifreeze to a cooling system. We recommend using a 50/50
  mixture. Never use high-silicate antifreeze or antifreeze that is higher than a 60/40
  mixture.

  When yellow indicator reaches the red area on indicator (1), replace air cleaner filter
  element. Push button (2) to reset indicator.                                                                            1

  •    Do not remove element until the indicator shows it needs to be replaced.
  •    Do not wash or blow out element; it must be replaced.
  NOTICE: The air restriction indicator will not function properly if:
  •    Element is damaged or not seated properly in housing.
  •    Air cleaner element body is damaged. If so, unfiltered air may be entering engine.
  •    Air transfer duct between air cleaner and engine is damaged or its clamps are
       loose.
  •    Air duct between air cleaner and restriction indicator is damaged or pinched.

DRILL ROD CARE
  Inspect drill rod before and during each use.
  •    Remove any rod from drill string with damaged or worn ends.
  •    Remove any bent rod from drill string.
  •    Use proper thread or profile gauge to check for damaged thread.
  •    After rods are coupled together, check for fluid leakage at the joint.
  •    Leaking drill rod joints indicate damaged shoulders, which will not torque properly.
  •    Check shoulders for dents, gouges, or high spots.
  •    Dress damaged shoulders with a file.
  Do not exceed bend radius of the drill rod. Doing so will cause premature failure of the drill rod.

SAFETY SIGNS MAINTENANCE
  Safety signs located on your machine contain important and useful information that will help you operate your
  equipment safely and correctly. Refer to the Parts Manual for identification and location of safety signs.
  To assure that all safety signs remain in place and in good condition, follow the instructions given below:
  •   Keep safety signs clean. Use soap and water - not mineral spirits, abrasive cleaners, or other similar
      cleaners that will damage the sign.
  •   Replace any damaged or missing safety signs. When attaching safety signs, the temperature of the
      mounting surface must be at least 40°F (5°C). The mounting surface must be clean and dry.
  •   When replacing a machine component with a safety sign attached, replace the safety sign also.
  Replacement safety signs can be purchased from your Vermeer equipment dealer.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - CHECK
                         WARNING: Pressurized fluid can penetrate body tissue and result in serious injury or
                         death. Leaks can be invisible. Keep away from any suspected leak. Relieve pressure in the
                         hydraulic system before searching for leaks, disconnecting hoses, or performing any other
                         work on the system. If you must pressurize the system to find a suspected leak, use an
                         object such as a piece of wood or cardboard rather than your hands. When loosening a
                         fitting where some residual pressure may exist, slowly loosen the fitting until oil begins to
                         leak. Wait for leaking to stop before disconnecting the fitting. Fluid injected under the skin
                         must be removed immediately by a surgeon familiar with this type of injury.

       •   Ensure all connections are tight and hoses are in good condition before applying pressure to the system.
       •   Check hydraulic cylinders for leaks and damage. Repair or replace as required.
       •   Examine condition of hoses. Check for leaking hoses, kinked hoses, and for hoses that rub against each
           other or other parts of the machine.
       •   Replace all deteriorated or damaged hoses. When a hose with a protective sleeve is replaced, always
           install a protective sleeve over the new hose.

COOLING SYSTEM - DRAIN AND CLEAN
                          WARNING: Hot fluid under pressure can scald.

                          Allow engine to cool before opening radiator cap.

  Step 1:   Follow Shutdown Procedure, page11-1. Allow system to cool, then remove
            radiator cap.
                                                                                           1
  Step 2:   Drain old coolant from system by opening petcock (1) on radiator. The
            system holds approximately 21.4 qt (20.3 L).
  Step 3:   Close petcock.
  Step 4:   Fill radiator with clean water. Check for signs of rust and add a cooling
            system cleaner to water if necessary.
  Step 5:   Install radiator cap. Run engine long enough to ensure thermostat has
            opened, allowing engine and radiator to receive fresh water.
  Step 6:   Shut off engine. Allow system to cool, then remove radiator cap and open
            petcock to drain water.

Cooling System - Refill
  Step 1:   Close petcock. Use 2.9 gal (11 L) each of low-silicate ethylene glycol antifreeze and clean water to
            prepare a 50/50 water/antifreeze mixture. Add most but not all of mixture to radiator. Do not fill it
            completely.
  Step 2:   Run engine until mixture has circulated through system.
  Step 3:   Add 14 oz (414 ml) of Fleetguard DCA4. Finish filling radiator with 50/50 water/antifreeze mixture.
            Install radiator cap.
  Step 4:   Check radiator after engine has cooled overnight. As air works out of system, you may need to add
            more water/antifreeze mixture to keep radiator full. Continue checking before starting each day until
            radiator remains full.

  Step 10: The second technician slowly rotates the sensor counterclockwise until
           phase angle at display reads a positive 85–95°.
  Step 11: Stop drive chuck rotation.

  Step 12: Tighten jam nut.
