UAZ PICKUP - Lubrication of the Vehicle

188
During vehicle operation, periodically treat the surfaces
(especially closed hollows) with anti-corrosion products, such as
‘Movil’, ‘Tectil’, ‘Nova’ etc, to preserve the bodyshell from pre-
mature deterioration. Treat the closed bodyshell hollows through
the orices in oor panels and cross members, which are closed
by rubber plugs.
As required, recover the bodyshell oor pan, coated with
bituminous mastic, by spreading the mastic with a special spray
or with a brush.
LUBRICATION OF THE VEHICLE
Long and failure-free motor vehicle work mainly depends on
the timely change of oil and grease in units and assemblies.
It is strongly recommended to follow the instructions of this
manual and the lubrication service Manual. The grease names are
indicated in the lubricants and uids table (see Annex 3). It is not
permitted to use oils and greases not indicated in the table, and to
break greasing intervals.
Methods of assembly lubrication and grease change are described
in the corresponding manual sections.
Within 24 hours after fording, check oil in all units. If water
is detected in the oil, change the oil in this unit and grease all the
lubrication nipples of the chassis until the fresh grease squeezes out.
While greasing, follow these rules:
1. Drain oil from the engine and the transmission units immedi-
ately after the motor vehicle stops while the units are warmed up.
2. Thoroughly remove dirt from the lubrication nipples and
plugs before greasing to avoid dirt getting into the motor vehicle
mechanisms.
3. Thoroughly remove escaped grease from all the details after
lubrication.
4. If the housings of the engine and the transmission units
contain excessively dirty oil or the oil contains metal particles,
wash the housings before lling fresh oil.
