3-2. SPECIFIC LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
a.
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 Iubricants. Keep lubrication
equipment clean and ready for use.
b.
Maintain a record of lubrication performed and report any problems noted during lubrication. Refer
to DA Pam 738-750 for maintenance forms and procedures for recording and reporting any findings.
WARNING
Wipe excess lubricant from the brakeshoe linings area, to prevent grease from
soaking the linings. If brakeshoe linings do become soaked, have Unit maintenance
replace them. Failure to follow this warning may cause brakes to malfunction,
resulting in serious injury or death to personnel.
c.
Keep all external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. After lubrication, wipe
off excess oil or gre`ase to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.
d.
Refer to FM 9-207 for lubrication instructions in cold weather.
After operation in mud or in sandy or dusty renditions, clean and inspect all points of lubrication for
fouled Iubricants. Change lubricants as required.
