LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Section I. INTRODUCTION
G-1. SCOPE.
This appendix gives lubrication requirements for the Forward Repair System (FRS) which are the responsibility of the
operator/crew.
G-2. GENERAL LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS.
a.
Maintaining Lubricant Levels. Lubricant levels must be checked as specified in the PMCS (Chapter 2,
Section 2) and Lubrication Table. Steps must be taken to replenish and maintain lubricant levels.
Drycleaning Solvent (P-D-680) is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles, face
shield, 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 flashpoint for Type II Drycleaning Solvent is 140 degrees F (60 degrees
C) and Type III Drycleaning Solvent is 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). 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.
b.
Cleaning Fittings Before Lubrication. Clean parts with Dry Cleaning Solvent P-D-680 or equivalent. Dry
before lubricating. Dotted arrow points indicate lubrication on both sides of the equipment.
c.
Lubrication After Fording. If fording operation occurs, lubricate all fittings below fording depth.
d.
Lubrication After High-Pressure Washing. After a thorough washing, lubricate all grease fittings and oil
can points outside and underneath FRS.
e.
Localized Views. A reference to the appropriate localized view is given after most lubrication entries.
Localized views begin on page G-11.
