WARNING
Drycleaning solvent is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles and gloves;
use only in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes; and do not
breathe vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke when using drycleaning
solvent; the flashpoint for Type II is 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), and for Type III it
is 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Failure to follow this warning may result in injury or
death to personnel.

Clean all fittings and the area around lubrication points with drycleaning solvent (Item 13, Appendix E) or the
equivalent before lubricating equipment. After lubrication, wipe off excess oil or grease to prevent accumulation of
foreign matter.

The Lubrication Chart shows lubrication points, items to be lubricated, required lubricants, and recommended intervals
for lubrication. Any special lubricating instructions for specific components are contained in NOTES (p. G-12).
Reference to the appropriate localized view is given after each lubrication entry.
d. Recommended intervals are based on normal conditions of operation; the intervals given represent the allocated hours
of operation between each scheduled lubrication. Under extreme conditions, lubricants should always be changed
more frequently. When in doubt, notify your supervisor.
