The following sections describe the required maintenance operations listed in Table "Required Maintenance Operations Sets, Schedule I" and "Required Maintenance Operations Sets, Schedule II and III".‪

Inspect the engine as follows:

  • Visually check the engine for signs of leakage. A slight dampness at the sealing points is no cause for alarm.
  • Note: More severe leaks, combined with a continual loss of oil, must be corrected without delay.
    Visually inspect all lines and hoses. Listen for any sound of leaking. Make sure all pipes and hoses are undamaged, correctly positioned to avoid chafing, and properly secured.
