Storage Compartments For Maintenance (Lubrication And Maintenance) Guides{7312}

Usage:

There have been reports that some operators and dealers can not find the Maintenance (Lubrication and Maintenance) Guides or Operation (Operators) Guides on some new machines. Most later machines have a storage compartment on the rear side of the seat backrest. The (CIMA) Construction Industry Manufacturer's Association Safety Manual, Maintenance (Lubrication and Maintenance) Guide, and/or Operation (Operators) Guide will be in this storage compartment on these machines. The Parts Book is too thick and will be in some other location on the machine during shipment from the factory.

Some machines have a smaller literature compartment like the one shown in Illustration 2, which holds only the Operator's Guide and CIMA Safety Manual. In this example both the Parts Book and the Lubrication and Maintenance Guide are kept in some other location. One of the two types of literature compartments is now standard on most machines.
