TM 9-2330-251-14&P
3-2. SPECIFIC LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS (Con't).
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.
3-3. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS.
a. Lubricate more frequently to compensate for abnormal or extreme conditions such as high or low
temperatures, prolonged periods of high-speed operation, continued operation in sand or dust, immersion in
water, or other exposure to moisture. Any one of these conditions may cause contamination and quickly destroy
the protective qualities of lubricants.
b. Intervals may be extended during inactive periods commensurate with adequate preservation.
c. For lubrication instructions during continued operation below 0F (-18C), refer to FM 9-207.
d. Refer to TM 9-238 for lubrication instructions before and after fording.
e. After operation in muddy, sandy, or dusty conditions, clean and inspect all points of lubrication for
fouled lubricants. Change lubricants as required.
