To ensure the M400T and M400W Skid Steer Loaders are ready for operation at all times, they must be inspected
on a regular basis so defects may be found and corrected before they result in injury, damage, or equipment
failure.
Table 1 in WP 0009 contains systematic instructions on inspections, lubrications, services, tests, and corrections to
be performed by Field Maintenance to keep your equipment in good operating condition and ready for its primary
mission.
Table 2 in WP 0009 lists mandatory replacement parts, by interval, for the loaders.
For information on Corrosion Prevention and Control (CPC), refer to WP 0001.
