The key to quality maintenance is having a plan. Here are some main points for how to maintain your compact radius wheeled excavator.
KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FLUIDS & FILTERS [00:23]
Fluids keep your M315/M319 wheeled excavator running optimally. If levels are low, you’ll eventually notice. Machine efficiency will go down — and if you keep operating, components can get damaged. Make sure you:
Check levels regularly.
Replace all fluids at recommended intervals, as found in your Operation and Maintenance Manual (OMM).
Take samples of fluids from analysis ports to determine when your excavator fluids need to be changed.
LUBRICATE REGULARLY, CHECK HYDRAULICS & MORE [01:07]
Grease helps parts on your M315/M319 wheeled excavator move smoothly, which prevents premature wear. Keep fittings properly lubricated to help prevent costly downtime.
Be sure to check over the extra features found on your equipment, too:
Lights
Tires
Attachment and implements
Hoses
Bolts and fasteners
As you build out your M315/M319 excavator maintenance plan, always refer to your OMM, and practice safe operating procedures.
