3.2 Introduction, maintenance

All points in the service program shall be included to attain the highest safety and a least possible truck downtime. The service intervals are only a guide and do not need to be followed strictly. The truck driver must adapt these to local conditions, but it is important that the intervals meet TOYOTA's minimum demands.

The service intervals are based on operating times and can be adapted to most normal 8 hour shifts. The following operating hours have be used when calculating the interval.

Day time:08.00-17.00 (20 hours/week)

2-shifts:06.00-14.00, 14.00-22.00 (40 hours/week)

3-shifts:06.00-14.00, 14.00-22.00, 22.00-06.00 (60 hours/week)

Ensure the truck is given regular maintenance services according to the maintenance schedule. The truck's safety, efficiency and service life is dependent on the service and maintenance it is given.

Only use TOYOTA approved spare parts during service and repairs
