NOTE

• Lubrication instructions contained in this lubrication order are MANDATORY.

• Overall views of lubrication points are located at the end of this lubrication order.

• Localized views are provided following the overall views.

1. Recommended intervals are based on normal conditions of operation, temperature, and humidity.
When operating under extreme conditions, such as high or low temperatures or exposure to sand or
dust, lubricants should always be changed more frequently. Lubricants that have become
contaminated will be changed regardless of interval. When in doubt, notify your supervisor.

WARNING

When servicing this machine, performing maintenance or disposing of materials

such as engine coolant, hydraulic fluid, and lubricants, consult your unit/local
hazardous waste disposal center or safety office for local regulatory guidance. If
further information is needed, please contact the Army Environmental Hotline at 1-
800-872-3845. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or death to
personnel.

2. Ensure all fluids drained as a result of lubrication or maintenance are collected in a suitable container
and disposed of in accordance with local policy and ordinances. Clean up any spills immediately.

3. 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.

4. Maintain a good record of all lubrication performed and report any problem noted during lubrication.
Refer to DA PAM 750-8 for maintenance forms and procedures to record and report any findings.

5. Keep all external parts of equipment not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. Before lubrication, wipe
lubrication fittings with a clean rag. After lubrication, wipe off excess oil or grease to prevent
accumulation of foreign matter.

6. Refer to FM 9-207, Operation and Maintenance of Ordnance Materiel in Cold Weather for lubrication
instructions in cold weather.

7. For equipment under manufacturer’s warranty, hardtime oil service intervals shall be followed.
Intervals shall be shortened if lubricants are known to be contaminated or if operation is under adverse
conditions (i.e., longer-than-usual operating hours, extended idling periods, or extreme dust).

8. Engine, fuel, and hydraulic system oil filters shall be changed when:

a. They are known to be contaminated or clogged; or

b. At prescribed hardtime intervals.
