TM 10-3930-671-24 f. Lubricate all preformed packings with a thin coat of hydraulic fluid before installation. g. Lubricate bearings before assembly with the lubricant normally used in the related housing or container.  This will provide lubrication during the first run-in until lubricant from the system can reach the bearings. h. Refer to identifying tags and sketches made at removal. i In general, after a hydraulic component has been removed, or lines have been broken, fill pump/motor and lines with hydraulic fluid upon installation. j. In  a  closed  loop  system,  whenever  a  pump/motor  has  been  diagnosed  as  faulty,  always  replace  corresponding pump/motor. k. Test operation after installation.  Inspect for leaks, vibration, noise, and misalignment.  Recheck after a week of operation. I. Always change filters after changing a hydraulic component, then again after 50 hours of operation. 3-8. PMCS INTRODUCTORY MATERIAL. This  section  contains  PMCS  instructions  for  the  truck.    The  PMCS  Table  contains  checks  and  services  necessary  to ensure that the truck is ready for operation.  Unit PMCS procedures are defined by the MAC.
