• Lets face it, we all have to start somewhere and
  with the money to be made in the world of heavy
  equipment its no shock people are flocking to
  the industry. There is a lot that goes into
  keeping your machines running strong day in and
  day out. We will go over 5 easy tips to get the
  most out of your equipment and lessen your
  chances of costly breakdowns.
• Follow Equipment Maintenance Schedules
• Being lazy is expensive in heavy equipment, there
  is no way around it. Machinery takes a lot of
  care, prepping, and maintenance. You have to be
  on top of this as an owner-operator. If you are

3

• too busy to handle the routine maintenance, no
  worries we can handle it all for you. Just reach
  out to us and schedule service!
• 2. Wash Equipment Regularly
• Heat kills equipment, and guess what causes your
  equipment to run hot? You guessed it, dirt and
  grime. Pressure washing, and specifically hot
  washing (utilizing hot water to cut through
  excess grease) will make sure your equipment is
  running right. Pressure washing equipment is
  about the cheapest insurance you can have when it
  comes to heavy equipment. We offer fleet washing
  services and can handle this for you anytime,
  anyplace. We have monthly washing plans to make
  sure your equipment is running top-notch day in
  and day out.

• 3. Use High-Quality Parts
• This doesnt always mean you have to use OEM
  parts, but make sure when performing repairs that
  you use the best quality, and time-tested,
  replacement parts out there. When we perform
  repairs you can rest assured that we will use the
  best parts available to make sure you get your
  moneys worth out of any repair we perform.
• 4. Avoid Overloading Equipment
• We all are guilty of doing it from time to time,
  pushing that overloaded blade of dirt, taking
  down too much tree for the machine, or trying to
  use your skid steer to do things not for a skid
  steer.

5

• Machines these days are built well but
  overloading is a ticking time bomb. When you push
  the machine harder than it is intended to be used
  bad things can and likely will happen. Aside from
  costly repairs, you could be putting your
  operator in danger as well.
• Always refer to your owners manual and
  salesperson if you are unsure of the capabilities
  of your machines. Most of the onsite repairs we
  do where things break are caused by overloading
  and misuse.
• Be smart, stay within the operating capacity and
  your wallet and team will thank you.

• 5. Perform Routine Inspections
• This is hands down the easiest way to get ahead
  of a problem before it becomes something that
  stops the machine in its tracks.
• Taking a few minutes each day to go over a
  checklist is a must-do.
• No, if ands or buts. If you see an issue you can
  make a decision on how urgent it is, you can
  reach out to us to schedule a repair and
  ultimately know the condition of the machine.
• If you are just jumping in your machine and
  running it each day, it is not if, its when you
  will be calling us for a massive repair that
  likely could have been avoided completely.
