Maintenance question

[merlebo02]

So I have hit the 200 hr mark on my L4701. I am changing both air filters and when I checked fuel it had some grit in there so changing fuel filter as well.. I am considering going ahead and changing oil/oil filter and hydraulic filter even though it says next change is at 400 hr mark. It has been a year since I changed the break in oil at 50hr. Would y誕ll agree just going ahead and changing everything giving it a full service would be a good idea? I also gave it a good greasing and cleaning, any other things I should do at this point?

It is definitely not a bad idea;maybe over-kill but it's your machine and money.

I bought our L5749 used with just over 100 hous on it last year. Filters were all marked 42 Hrs Oct 2012. Since I didn't know anything about previous owner and it had been 5 years, I changed engine oil/filter at 120 hours and hydraulic filters and fluid at 200 hrs. If you can afford it you can't go wrong with early maintenance., IMO.

I did a complete maintenance on my RTV last month. It only had 225 hours on it but it was 5 years old (engine oil and filter, air filter changed annually). I figure if I have spend $250 every 5 years for 7. 5 gallons Super UDT, and a complete filter kit-I'll take it.
