OPERATOR'S MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Section I. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

3-1. GENERAL

Keep all lubricants in closed containers and store in a clean, dry place away from external heat. Allow no

dust, dirt or other foreign material to mix with the lubricants. Keep all lubrication equipment clean and ready

to use.

Keep all external parts not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. Before lubricating the equipment wipe all

lubrication points free of dirt and grease. Clean all lubrication points after you lubricate them to prevent

accumulation of dirt.

Intervals are based on normal hours of operation. Change the interval if your lubricants are contaminated or

if you are operating the equipment under adverse operating conditions, including longer-than-usual operating

hours. You may extend the interval during times of low activity, but you must take adequate preservation

precautions.
