TM 9-2350-238-10
SERVICE INTERVALS–UNUSUAL
CONDITIONS
A lubricant that contains grit,
dust, and sand will be an
abrasive and cause rapid wear
of parts.
Lubricate more frequently to compensate for
abnormal or extreme conditions, such as high
or low temperature, prolonged periods of
high-speed operation, continued operation in
sand or dust, immersion in water, or exposure
to moisture. Any of these operations or condi-
tions may quickly destroy protective qualities
of lubricants. Refer to FM 9-207 for instruc-
tions on necessary special preliminary lubrica-
tion of vehicle for continued operation below
O°F (–18°C).
Intervals may be extended during inactive
periods after application of proper lubrication.
MAINTAINING PROPER LUBRICANT LEVELS
Lubricant levels in engine, transmission, aux-
iliary drive, final drives, road wheel hubs,
traversing drive, boom winch, tow winch, and
hydraulic reservoir must be observed closely
and necessary steps taken to replenish in
order to maintain proper levels at all times.
LUBRICATION AFTER FORDING OPERATIONS
After any fording operation in water 12 in-
ches (30.5 cm) or over, lubricate ail chassis
points to clean bearings of water or grit, as
well as any other points required, in accord-
ance with page 3-61.
