Section IV. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
4-8. General
Lubrication Information.
This section contains lubrication instructions for
the editorial and photomechanical shelter of the special
warfare printing plant.
4-9. Detailed
Lubrication Information.
a.
General. Keep all lubricants in closed
containers and store in a clean, dry place away from
external heat. Allow no dust, dirt, or other foreign
material to mix with the lubricants. Keep all lubrication
equipment clean and ready for use.
b. Cleaning. Keep all external parts not requiring
lubrication clean of lubricants. Before lubricating the
equipment, wipe all lubrication points free of dirt and
grease. Clean all lubrication points after lubricating to
prevent accumulation of foreign matter.
c.
Points of Lubrication. Lubricate the door
hinges and handles of the editorial and photomechanical
shelter with a few drops of OE-10 (Lubricating Oil,
Internal Combustion Engine) monthly, or if binding
occurs during operation.
d. Unusual Conditions. Reduce service intervals
i.e., lubricate more frequently, to compensate for
abnormal or extreme conditions, such as high o low
temperatures, continued operation in sand or dust,
immersion in water, or exposure to moisture.
Any one of these operations or conditions may cause
contamination and quickly destroy the protective
qualities of the lubricants. Intervals may be extended
during inactive periods commensurate with adequate
preservation.
NOTE
A lubricant which is fouled by
dust and sand acts as an abrasive
mixture and causes rapid wear of
parts
Section V. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES
4-10. General.
To ensure that the printing plant is ready for
operation
at
all
times,
it
must
be
inspected
systematically so that defects may be discovered and
corrected before they result in serious damage or
failure. The necessary preventive maintenance checks
and services are listed in table 4-1. Defects discovered
during operation of the system shall be noted for future
correction to be made as soon as operation has ceased.
Stop operation immediately if a deficiency is noted
during operation, which would damage the equipment if
operation were continued. All deficiencies and
shortcomings will be recorded together with the
corrective action taken on DA Form 2404 (Equipment
Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) at the earliest
possible opportunity.
