Service intervals growing?

RobVG · 2009-08-22 01:20

Got a call from my boss saying his ZAxis 160LC was puking diesel. Turns out, there was a hole in the bottom of the fuel filter. Never had that happen before. I service our machines at the factory 500 hr interval and when times were good, they would get changed every 8-10 weeks. This machine hadn't been serviced for 10 months. Just something to watch for...
