a great time to get the machine dealer and manufacturer on site for some hands-on training . Just like they did when the machine was new , you should have the dealer and factory rep on site to do an extensive walk-around and machine demonstration so that all the features and benefits of the machine are understood . Many things get lost over the layoff period and this gives a great refresher to the veterans as well as an initial training to the new hires . Also , make sure that the product support department from the dealership is on site to work with your shop staff to fully understand preventative maintenance as well as troubleshooting techniques .
