E-1. GENERAL.
NOTE
These instructions are MANDATORY.
a. Semitrailers must receive lubrication with approved lubricants at recommended intervals in order to be mission-
capable at all times.
b. The KEY (p. E-8) lists lubricants to be used in all temperature ranges and shows the intervals.
c. The lubrication charts (pp. E-3 through E-7) show lubrication points, items to be lubricated, the required
lubricants, and recommended intervals for lubrication. Any special lubricating instructions required for specific
components are contained in the NOTES section (p. E-8).
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.
E-2. SPECIFIC LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
a. Keep all lubricants in a closed container and store in a clean, dry place away from extreme heat. Keep container
covers clean and do not allow dust, dirt, or other foreign material to mix with lubricants. Keep all lubrication
equipment clean and ready for use.
b. Maintain a record of lubrication performed and report any problems noted during lubrication. Refer to DA Pam
738-750 for maintenance forms and procedures for recording and reporting any findings.
WARNING
Wipe excess lubricant from the area of brakeshoe linings to prevent grease from soaking the
linings. If brakeshoe linings become soaked, have Unit maintenance replace them. Failure to
follow this warning may cause brakes to malfunction, resulting in serious injury or death to
personnel.
c. Keep all external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. After lubrication, wipe off excess
oil or grease to prevent accumulation of foreign matter.
d. Refer to FM 9-207 for lubrication instructions in cold weather.
