TM 5-6115-275-14 NAVFAC P-8-615-14 TO 35C2-3452-1 Section II.  LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS 3-3. General a. This   section   contains   instructions   which   are supplemental   to   and   not   specifically   covered   in   the lubrication order. b. For current lubrication order listings, refer to LO 5-2805-259-12. c. Care  of  Lubricants.     Keep   lubricants   in sealed  containers  and  store  in  a  clean  dry  place,  away from external heat.  Allow no dust, dirt, or other foreign materials to mix with the lubricants. NOTE Lubrication    equipment    must    be    kept clean and ready for use. d. Instructions.  Proper lubrication is required to maintain  longer  engine  life.    Review   lubrication   order carefully  and  adhere  to  the  pertinent  information  and specifications required.  Apply lubricant specified on the lubrication order. e. Cleaning.    Before  lubricating  the  equipment, wipe all lubrication points clean of dirt and grease with a clean shop towel or equivalent. NOTE Keep   all   external   parts   not   requiring lubrication  clean  from  lubricants.    After every     external     lubrication     operation, remove  any  excess  lubricant  from  the application   points   and   wipe   away   the spilled lubricant. This prevents accumulation   of   foreign   matter,   dust, and  dirt  which  would  eventually  clog  or stop     up     the     lubrication     fittings     or openings. f. OES Oil. (1) Inspect the crankcase oil level frequently as oil consumption can be expected to increase. (2) The oil may require more frequent changing than usual because contamination, with sludge formations and dilution, will increase when the engine is operated under cold weather conditions. Section III.  PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES 3-4. General To insure  the  generator  set  is  ready  for  operation  at all  times,  it  must  be  inspected  systematically   so   that defects  may  be  discovered  and  corrected  before  they result   in   serious   damage   or   failure.      The   necessary preventive    maintenance    services    will    be    performed before  operation.    Defects  discovered  during  operation will be noted for future correction, to be made as soon as operation  has  ceased.    Stop  operation  immediately  if  a deficiency is  noted  during  operation  that  would  damage the equipment if operation were continued. All   deficiencies   and   shortcomings   will   be   recorded, together    with    the    corrective    action    taken    on    the applicable form, at the earliest possible opportunity.  Air Force users shall refer to the applicable inspection manuals and work card sets in the T.O.  35C2-3 series for periodic requirements and table 3-2 for detailed procedures. 3-5. Operator’s Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services Table  32  contains  a  tabulated  listing  of  preventive maintenance  checks  and  services  for  the  generator  set which     shall     be     performed     by     the     operator/crew personnel.        Refer    to    TM    5280525914    for    engine preventive maintenance, checks and services.  The item numbers    are    listed    consecutively    and    indicate    the sequence of minimum requirements.
