OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
INITIAL SETUP:
NOTE
•
The lowest level of maintenance authorized to lubricate a specific
point is indicated by where that lubrication point falls within the PMCS
tables. Operator/crew are only authorized to lubricate those points
within the operator PMCS tables. Field level maintenance personnel
are authorized to lubricate all points regardless of which tables
(operator or field level) those lubrication points are listed.
•
Refer to PMCS tables for specific lubrication points and localized
views.
•
Lubrication intervals are for normal operating conditions. Intervals
may be shortened as required for severe operating conditions.
•
Clean all lubrication points with solvent cleaning compound, and
allow to dry prior to servicing.
•
When using a grease gun, apply lubricant to the fitting until clean
lubricant squeezes out of the part being lubricated.
•
Apply grease to universal joints until old grease is expelled from all
edges of universal joint end cap. Wipe away excess grease.
•
After a thorough high pressure washing, lubricate all grease fittings
and oil can points outside and underneath vehicle.
•
If vehicle fords water obstacle, service all lubrication points below
fording depth and check submerged gear boxes for presence of
water.
•
Ensure equipment has correct lubricants appropriate to operating
environment (expected continuous temperatures). If not, remove/
drain and reapply/refill equipment with appropriate lubricants for
operating environment as prescribed in these lubrication instructions.
