Entries in service schedule
If a component is changed which has a change interval prescri‐
bed by the manufacturer, e.g. the toothed belt, the new change
interval begins at the time the component is changed.

changed, to document this in the service schedule.

This also applies to components which were changed before
the regular change interval.
