GENERAL LUBRICATION PROCEDURES

NOTE

Lubrication instructions contained in this PMCS are MANDATORY.

If the M878A2 is not enrolled in the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) for sampling of engine oil and

transmission fluid, hardtime intervals apply.

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

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

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 KEY on page 0011 00-4).

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 cov-

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

clean and ready for use.

WARNING

Dry cleaning solvent MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic material.

However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. The use of protective gloves and goggles is sug-

gested. Use in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition.

Clean area around lubrication points with dry cleaning solvent (Item 3, WP 0019 00) or equivalent before lubricating

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.
