SERVICING
1. GENERAL
This chapter outlines the information required for performing the basic maintenance,
lubrication, and service of the APX16 Vehicle. Regular lubrication at prescribed intervals,
in conjunction with an inspection program outlined in Chapter 1, Section 2, Figure 2 will
help assure operators of having a safe, reliable unit and will contribute to longer unit
service life.
WARNING: Neglected or delayed lubrication and service can cause excessive wear on
components and machine members, and can compromise unit safety and reliability.
1. LUBRICATION & SERVICE
The following section helps to identify the areas and components, which require
checking and lubrication. This section also suggests the frequency of service in typical
unit use. The information provided in this table should be considered the maximum
time between lubrication and service activities. Lubrication and checks are expressed
in both hours and in months.
CAUTION: Lubricate the unit at specified intervals and after concentrated cleanings.
2. RECORDS
To assist in implementing a program of maintenance and lubrication at regular
intervals, service personnel are encouraged to establish and maintain a record of the
lubrication and related work performed on the vehicle using the form following the
Lubrication/ Service section as a guide. This type of record will assist in having the
unit serviced, maintained, and lubricated on a regular basis. Further, it will provide
assurance to operating personnel that the unit has been checked and lubricated and
is ready for safe, reliable operation.
3. LEASING OR RENTING
When unit is to be used by personnel outside the direct control of the owner (i.e.
rented or leased) it should be given a complete Maintenance/Service check before
release and upon return, using the Maintenance Record as a guide. Additional
provisions should be made to ensure that all recommended maintenance is performed
while the machine is out of direct control of the owner.

4. SCISSOR FRAMEWORK ACCESS
When checking, inspecting, or servicing scissors or components within the scissors
framework the use of the scissors spreader IS essential for safety!
THE PURPOSE OF THE SCISSOR SPREADERS: The safety scissor spreader is
provided with the unit to hold the scissor mechanism mechanically open so that checks,
inspection, service, and maintenance of the scissor or its components can be safely made.
LOCATION OF THE SPREADERS: The safety scissor spreader is located at rear of the
vehicle on the upper scissor crossmember. (Reference: Figure 2.)
THE USE OF THE SPREADERS: To use the scissor spreader properly, first raise the
platform sufficiently to permit the spreader to be inserted between the cross members.
Pull the pin(s) holding the spreader in the stowed position, allowing the spreader to swivel
into position between the crossmembers. Then lower the platform until the full weight of
the scissor mechanism is borne and held by the spreader.
WARNING: Never attempt to hold the scissors open during maintenance and service
operations by hydraulic pressure, by blocking or other potentially hazardous means!
Always use the scissors spreader during these operations; otherwise death or serious
personal injury may result.
CAUTION: Lubricate the unit at specified intervals, after cleaning or after periods of
long-term storage. Proper lubrication is essential for safety.
