CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakage (Class I or II) of any fluid except fuel. Of course,
consideration must be given to the fluid capacity in the item being checked/inspected. When in doubt,
notify your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid level more often than required in the
PMCS. Parts without fluid will stop working and/or cause equipment damage.
Class III leaks should be reported to your supervisor or unit maintenance
NOTE
If the equipment must be kept in continuous operation, check and service only those items that can be
checked and serviced without disturbing operation. Make the complete checks and services when the
equipment can be shut down.
Within designated interval, these checks are to be performed in the order listed.
