The purpose of this procedure is to establish the minimum requirements for performing scheduled Preventative Maintenance (PM) on Flogistix units and to ensure compressor / driver longevity by maintaining Flogistix units as described in this procedure. This Preventative Maintenance Procedure is in compliance with EPA ruling 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ where applicable. Maintenance intervals shall be based on run time hours of 1,440 running hours or driver manufacturer's recommended time intervals, whichever is less. Preventative Maintenance hours will be tracked automatically by Flogistix. Flogistix maintenance activities will vary depending on unit type, but will not exceed 1,440 run hours.
This procedure applies to all units that are currently in service in the field, at a repair shop, and in storage yards. Flogistix Service Technicians will perform the scheduled PM as required according to the type of engine being maintained.
Before any work is performed, a JSA must be completed according to Flogistix procedure along with any Customer requirements before any work is started.
