Section I. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-1. GENERAL LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Do not start engine or move sweeper when anyone is under sweeper. Severe injury or death could result.
NOTE
These instructions are mandatory.
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. 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 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 HR, in which M stands for monthly and 60 HR stands for 60
hours of vehicle operation. The lubrication is to be performed, at whichever interval occurs first for the sweeper. Special
lubrication intervals and services are shown by the use of an asterisk (*) symbol.
