1. To ensure the M400T or M400W Skid Steer Loader (SSL) is ready for operation at all times, it must be
inspected on a regular basis so defects may be found and corrected before they result in injury, damage, or
equipment failure.
2. Table 1 in WP 0020, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) for the M400T and M400W SSL,
contains systematic instructions on inspections, lubrications, services, tests, and corrections to be performed
to keep the SSL in good operating condition and ready for its primary mission.
3. Table 2 in WP 0020, Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) for the Work Tool Attachments,
contains inspections and lubrication to be performed on the work tool attachments for the SSL: bucket, forklift,
auger, and hydraulic hammer.
