Here are some jobs which should be done after every 10 hours:
- Check and top up engine oil level if level is below recommended low.
- Check and top up transmission and hydraulic oil level if level is below recommended level.
- Check coolant level.
- Check and adjust tyre pressure according to condition (you can check tyre pressure table).
- Lubrication of all greasing points.
Jobs to be done after every 50 hours:
- Check front 4WD axle oil if provided.
- Grease front axle pivot pins.
- Check battery terminals and there should be no corrosion on battery terminals.
- Grease steering spindles.
- Lubricate clutch & brake paddles pins.
- Check & adjust free play in clutch, brake paddle and tension in fan belt.
