5-6675-316-12, Lubrication Order, Drafting Support 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.

lubrication. When a specified lubricant is called for, substitutions are not au-
thorized. 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.
