temperatures, prolonged periods of high-speed operations, continued operation in sand or dust, immersion in water,
or exposure to moisture. Any one of these conditions may cause contamination and quickly destroy protective
qualities of lubricants.
b. Intervals maybe extended during inactive periods commensurate with adequate preservation.
c. For lubrication instructions during continued operation below 0F (-18C), refer to FM 9-207.
