APPENDIX E
LUBRICATION ORDER
E-1.
GENERAL LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
This section contains lubrication instructions necessary to keep the truck in operating condition. Figures E-1 through E-3
illustrate the truck and locations of lubrication points. The following paragraphs describe the lubrication figures and how
they are used.
Do not start engine or move truck when anyone is under truck. Severe injury or death could
result.
a.
Intervals. Intervals (on-condition or hard-time) and the related man-hour times are based on normal operation.
The man-hour time specified is the time needed to do all the services prescribed for a particular interval. On-condition
(OC) oil sample intervals shall be applied unless changed by the Army Oil Analysis Program (AOAP) laboratory. Change
the hard-time interval if lubricants are contaminated or if operating the equipment under adverse operating conditions,
including longer-than-usual operating hours. The calendar interval may be extended during periods of low activity. If
extended, adequate preservation precautions must be taken. Hard-time intervals will be applied in the event AOAP
laboratory support is not available. Hard-time intervals must be applied during the warranty period. Intervals shown in this
lubrication section are based on calendar and hourly times or calendar times and mileage. An example of a calendar and
hourly lubrication is: M/60 H, in which M stands for monthly and 60 H stands for 60 hours of truck operation. The
lubrication is to be performed at whichever interval occurs first for the truck. Special lubrication intervals and services are
shown by the use of an asterisk (*) symbol.
b.
Determination of Operating Hours. The reading on the hour meter is the basis of all lubrication intervals.
Drycleaning solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles and gloves; use
only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes; and do not breathe
vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke when using solvent; the flash point for Type
I drycleaning solvent is 100°F (380C) and for type II is 140°F (600C). Failure to do so may result in
injury or death to personnel.
If personnel become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh air and medical
help. If solvent contacts skin or clothes, flush with cold water. If solvent contacts eyes,
immediately flush eyes with water and get immediate medical attention.
c.
Clean Fitting Before Lubricating. Clean parts with cleaning solvent. Dry before lubricating.
d.
Lubrication After Fording. If fording occurs, lubricate all fittings below fording depth. Fording is not
recommended for the truck.
e.
Lubrication After High-Pressure Washing. After washing, lubricate all grease fittings and oil can points outside
and underneath truck.
f.
Level of Maintenance. The lowest level of maintenance authorized to lubricate a point is indicated by either
Operator/Crew (C) or unit maintenance (O). Operator can lubricate points authorized for unit
