GENERAL LUBRICATION PROCEDURES

00010 00

NOTE

Lubrication instructions contained in this PMCS are MANDATORY.

Refer to TM 10-3930-660-10 for Operator Maintenance level lubrication.

Dashed leader lines used in illustrations of lubrication points indicate that lubrication is

required on both sides of the equipment.

Recommended intervals are based on normal conditions of operation, temperature, and humidity. When operating under

extreme conditions, such as high or low temperatures or exposure to sand or dust, lubricants should always be changed

more frequently. Lubricants that have become contaminated will be changed regardless of interval. When in doubt,

notify your supervisor.

WARNING

When servicing this forklift, performing maintenance or disposing of materials such as engine coolant,

hydraulic fluid, lubricants, battery acids or batteries, and CARC paint, consult your unit/local hazardous

waste disposal center or safety office for local regulatory guidance. If further information is needed, please

contact The Army Environmental Hotline at 1-800-872-3845.

Ensure that all fluids drained as a result of lubrication or maintenance are collected in a suitable container and disposed

of in accordance with local policy and ordinances. Clean up any spills immediately.

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 all lubrication equipment clean

and ready for use.

Maintain a good record of all lubrication performed and report any problem noted during lubrication. Refer to DA PAM

738-751 for maintenance forms and procedures to record and report any findings.

WARNING

Cleaning compound, solvent MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic mate-

rial. 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.

Keep all external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. Before lubrication, wipe lubrication fit-

tings with a clean rag (Item 40, WP 0324 00) and solvent cleaning compound (Item 10, WP 0324 00). After lubrication,

wipe off excess oil or grease to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.

Refer to FM 9-207 for lubrication instructions in cold weather.

Refer to AR 70-12 for use of standardized fuels and lubricants.

Engine, transmission and hydraulic system oil filters shall be changed when:

they are known to be contaminated or clogged;
