TM 5-6115-329-14 TO 35C2-3-440-1 3-4. Detailed Lubrication Information a.   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. b.   Instructions.   Proper   lubrication   is   required to  maintain  longer  engine  life.  Review  lubrication order  carefully,  and  adhere  to  the  pertinent  infor- mation  and  specification  required.  Apply  lubricant specified   on   the   lubrication   order. c.   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    lubri- cation   operation,    remove   any   excess   lubricant   from the   application   points   and   wipe   away   the   spilled   lu- bricant.    This    prevents    accumulation    of    foreign    mat- ter,   dust   and   dirt,   which   would   eventually   clog   or stop   up   the   lubrication   fittings   or   openings. d.  OES  Oil (1)  Inspect  the  crankcase  oil  level  frequently, as  oil  consumption  can  be  expected  to  increase. (2)   The   oil   may   require   more   frequent   chang- ing   than   usual   because   contamination,   with   sludge formations  and  dilution,  will  increase  when  the  en- gine  is  operated  under   cold    weather    conditions. Section III. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES 3-5.  General a.   To   insure   that   the   generator   set   is   ready   for operation  at  all  times,  it  must  be  inspected  system- atically   so   defects   may   be   discovered   and   corrected before  they  result  in  serious  damage  or  failure.  The necessary  preventive  maintenance  checks  and  ser- vices   that   are   to   be   performed   by   Operator/Crew personnel   are   listed   and   described   in   the   following paragraph. Defects   discovered   during   operation   will   be noted   for   future   correction.   Stop   operation   immedi- ately  if  a  deficiency  is  noted  which  would  damaged the   equipment.   All   deficiencies   and   shortcomings will  be  recorded  together  with  the  corrective  actions taken   on   the   applicable   form. b.   (A,   N)   Preventive   Maintenance   Checks   and Services.  Table  3-2  contains  a  tabulated  listing  of PMCS  which  shall  be  performed  by  the  Operator/ Crew  personnel.  The  item  numbers  are  listed  con- secutively   and   indicate   the   sequence   of   minimum requirements.

Fluid  Leakage.  Leakage  definitions for Operator/Crew PMCS shall be classified as follows: Class  I Seepage   of fluid   (as   in- dicated by wetness or discoloration)  not  great enough to form drops. Class II Leakage    of fluid great enough   to form  drops but not enough to  cause drops to drip from item being checked/inspected. Class III Leakage    of fluid great enough  to form  drops  that full   from   the item   being checked/inspected. C h a n g e  1 3-5/(3-6 blank)
