From oil changes to grease programs, your owner\u2019s manual holds the key to maximizing your equipment\u2019s performance. Here are three reasons you should read your owner\u2019s manual today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

You\u2019ve just purchased a rig. Your No. 1 goal is to get it on the road as soon as possible, but hold on. Now is the time to pick up the owner\u2019s manual and get better acquainted with your equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

From oil changes to grease programs, your owner\u2019s manual holds the key to maximizing your equipment\u2019s performance. Here are three reasons you should read your owner\u2019s manual today.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. You\u2019ll know your equipment\u2019s maintenance schedule<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

One of the most important things to know about your equipment is the maintenance schedule \u2013 and the owner\u2019s manual will spell it out for you. Once upon a time, maintenance schedules for various rigs may have been largely similar. However, as equipment has become more precise, maintenance schedules have become more individualized to each manufacturer and model.<\/span><\/p>\n

No matter how talented the mechanic, it\u2019s almost impossible to keep up with every quirk, which is why owners also need to be aware of the specific maintenance needs of their equipment. At the end of the day, being familiar with the maintenance schedule has significant benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll see more uptime<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019re better acquainted with your equipment\u2019s maintenance schedule, it\u2019s much easier to coordinate a cadence that works for your fleet. Some fleet owners try to stretch their maintenance periods to minimize the time their equipment is in the shop. But this means potential issues have a chance to grow into real full-blown problems. Resisting the urge to extend maintenance windows means better functioning equipment and more overall uptime for your fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, any performance measurements (including gas mileage) cited when purchasing a piece of equipment assume the owner will be following the prescribed maintenance schedule. If you don\u2019t follow this schedule, your performance results will suffer.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ll protect your warranty<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Warranties aren\u2019t just a key purchase benefit. They\u2019re also a way for manufacturers to control their equipment\u2019s performance. As engines and machinery get more and more advanced, even the smallest adjustment to the fuel, oil or other fluids you use can impact a piece of equipment\u2019s efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

Owners need to protect their warranty by ensuring no maintenance mistakes occur. Even a small misunderstanding can render your warranty null and void. By reading your owner\u2019s manual, you\u2019re taking control of not only your equipment but also the benefits you purchased with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reading your owner\u2019s manual is a vital way to understand your equipment and how it will perform best. With fleet technology changing quickly, owners need to do their part to stay knowledgeable on best practices. If you have questions about products after reviewing your owner\u2019s manual, the Cenex Equipment Look-up Tool<\/a> can help provide recommendations so your vehicle continues to operate how it should, when it should.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
