Section I. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-1. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
a. These lubrication instructions are for operator level personnel. Lube intervals (on-condition or hard
time) are based on normal operation. Lube more during constant use, and less during inactive periods. Use
correct grade of lubricant for seasonal temperature expected.
CAUTION
Always wipe clean oil filler components before starting your lube
service. Use correct type or grade of oil. Overfilling will cause spillage
and harm engine components.
b. For equipment under manufacturers warranty, hard time oil service intervals shall be followed.
Intervals shall be shortened if lubricants are known to be contaminated or if operation is under adverse
conditions (such as longer than usual operating hours, extended idling periods, or extreme dust).
c. Remove engine oil fill cap. Fill engine with required oil until oil level reaches threaded opening of oil
fill cap (up to 1.2 quarts (1.1 liters)). Refer to Table 3-1 for recommended oils. Install oil fill cap.
