SECTION II - LUBRICATION
6-2 Lubrication Practices
Mechanical equipment requires lubrication to overcome friction, minimize wear and damage, and to minimize corrosion.
A firm lubrication procedure and schedule should be established. The main items that require lubrication are the pumps,
engines and generators. Valves require some lubrication to assure their smooth operation. Pivot points on various
pieces of equipment should be lubricated regularly. Closure surfaces are to be lubricated to prevent corrosion. Various
unpainted surfaces should be coated with lubricant to prevent corrosion. Specific action items are coded in the left-hand
column with the recommended frequency during operations as follows:
"D" -daily
"W" -weekly
"M" -monthly
"V" - variable depending on conditions
6-2.1 Pumps and Engines (GFE)
a.
Detailed instructions on the lubrication of pumps and engines are contained in the technical manuals referenced
in para. 6-1.1 and 6-1.2.
b.
Essential lubrication practice is:
"D"
1. Before operation and each day thereafter, the engine crankcase oil levels should be checked. Add oil as
necessary. If dirty, change the oil.
"D"
2. Lubricate the ether starting aid mechanism routinely after first cleaning.
"D"
3. Lubricate the tachometer drive system daily after cleaning.
"M"
4. Put light coating of grease on battery terminals routinely after cleaning.
"W"
5. Lubricate engine control pivot points routinely.
"W"
6. Lubricate valve stems, particularly the suction and discharge valves regularly.
