GENERAL LUBRICATION PROCEDURES

NOTE

Lubrication instructions contained in this PMCS are MANDATORY.

Overall view of lubrication points is located at the end of this work package. Localized views are located,

together with specific lubrication instructions, in the PMCS Table in WP 0012 00.

The tractor is no longer enrolled in the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP).

Refer to FM 9-207 for lubrication in arctic operation.

Included in this PMCS are lubrication services to be performed by the operator.

Lubrication intervals are based on normal operation. Lubricate more during constant use and less during inactive periods.

Use correct grade of lubricant for seasonal temperature expected. Refer to the KEY at the end of this work package.

For equipment under manufacturer's warranty, hardtime intervals shall be followed. Shorten intervals if lubricants are

known to be contaminated or if operation is under adverse conditions (e.g., longer than usual operating hours, extended

idling periods, extreme dust, etc.).

Keep all lubricants in a closed container and store in a clean, dry place away from extreme heat. Keep container covers

clean and do not allow dust, dirt or other foreign material to mix with lubricants. Keep lubrication equipment clean and

ready for use.

WARNING

Solvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic mate-

rial. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use in well-venti-

lated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition.

Clean area around lubrication points with solvent cleaning compound (Item 2, WP 0019 00) or equivalent before lubricat-

ing equipment. Keep all external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. After lubrication, wipe off

excess lubricant to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.

Maintain a record of lubrication performed and report any problems noted during lubrication. Refer to DA Pam 738-750

for forms and procedures to record and report any findings.
