Points of Lubrication. The door hardwarewill be lubricated with graphite grease, (item 3,App. D). Figure 2-1 illustrates the points wherelubrication is required.d. Unusual Conditions. Reduce service inter-vals i.e., lubricate more frequently to compensatefor abnormal or extreme conditions, such as high orlow temperatures, continued operation in sand ordust, immersion in water, or exposure to moisture.Any one of these operations or conditions may causecontamination and quickly destroy the protectivequalities of the lubricants. Intervals may be ex-tended during inactive periods commensurate withadequate preservation.NOTEA lubricant which is fouled by dustand sand acts as an abrasive-mix-ture and causes rapid wear of parts.Section IV.
