GENERAL.
NOTE
These Instructions are MANDATORY.
a. The dollies must be lubricated with approved lubricants at recommended intervals in order to be mission-
capable at all times.
b. The KEY lists lubricants to be used in all temperature ranges and shows the interval.
c. The lubrication chart shows lubrication points, items to be lubricated, the required lubricant, and recommended
interval for lubrication. Any special lubricating instructions required for specific components are contained in the NOTES
section of the chart.
d. Recommended intervals are based on normal conditions of operation, temperature, and humidity. When
operating under extreme conditions, lubricants should always be changed more frequently. When in doubt, notify your
supervisor.
3-2. SPECIFIC LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
a. Maintain a record of lubrication performed and report any problems noted during lubrication. Refer to
DA Pam 738-750 for applicable forms and procedures to record and report any findings.
WARNING
Dry cleaning solvent, P-D-680, Is toxic and flammable. Always wear protective goggles
and gloves, and use only in a well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothes, and DO NOT breathe vapors. DO NOT use near open flame or excessive heat.
The solvent's flash point is 100F-138F (380C-59C). If you become dizzy while
using cleaning solvent, immediately get fresh air and medical help. If solvent contacts
eyes, immediately wash your eyes and get medical aid.
b. Use dry cleaning solvent (item 5, Appendix E) to clean grease fittings, lubrication points, and surrounding
areas before lubricating.
c. When lubricating at a grease fitting, apply enough grease to purge old grease from the lubricated area.
When old grease oozes from the fitting, purging and lubrication are adequate.
WARNING
Wipe excess lubricant from the area of brakeshoe linings to avoid grease soaking the
linings. If brakeshoe linings become soaked, have Organizational Maintenance replace
them. Failure to follow this warning may cause brakes to malfunction, resulting in
serious Injury or death to personnel.
d. After lubrication, wipe off excess oil or grease to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.
