Key tasks: visual walk\u2011around for leaks, check fluid levels (engine oil, hydraulic, coolant), grease all fittings, and inspect tracks. Weekly: clean radiator fins, check track tension, inspect air filter. Seasonal: change engine oil and filter, replace fuel filter, check hydraulic fluid. With proper care, a mini excavator can last 8,000\u201312,000 hours (10\u201115 years for homeowners).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Podaci vlasnika:<\/strong>\u00a094% vlasnika RIPPA-e prijavljuje da u prvih 1.000 sati nisu imali ve\u0107ih problema.
