a. Lubrication instructions for the Finishing Section are contained in LO
5-3610-253-12, Lubrication Order, Finishing Section, Topographic Support System.
The intervals and man-hours specified in the Lubrication Order are based on normal
operations. During inactive periods, lubrication periods may be extended with
adequate preservation.
b. Topographic equipment and all optical equipment require special care in
lubrication. When a specified lubricant is called for, substitutions are not auth-
orized. Minimum amounts of lubricant are to be used and all excess lubricant is
to be immediately removed. Spray lubricants must not be used in the vicinity of
optical equipment unless optics are completely protected. No lubricant is to be
applied unless a thorough cleaning is conducted first to remove dirt, dust, or abra-
sive material.
c. Be sure that you refer to the appropriate chapter before any equipment is
stored after use, that the temperature has stabilized, and that lubrication required
after use is accomplished.
