The following are checks that are common to the entire lube unit system:
(1)
Keep the equipment clean. Remove dirt, sand, and debris from quick disconnect couplings, hose ends, and
valves to prevent excessive wear and system contamination.

Check and tighten loose nuts, bolts, and screws.
(3)
Look for wear, damage, and leaks on hoses and fuel lines. Make sure clamps and quick disconnect
couplings are tight. Wet spots show leaks, and a stain around a fitting or connector may also indicate a
leak. Tighten any loose fittings or couplings. Repair or report problems to unit maintenance.

Check wiring and connectors for cracked or broken insulation, exposed wiring, and loose or broken
connectors. Repair problems or inform unit maintenance (5) Check welds for gaps, cracks, and rust.
