The purpose of this section is to outline additional lubrication instructions not covered in LO 9-6115-464-12.
For current and updated information on the latest editions of Iubrication orders or instructions, see
DA PAM 25-30 for Army, applicable work card set in TO 35C2-3-1-426 for Air Force.
Keep all lubricants in closed containers and store in a clean, dry place away from external heat. Allow
no dust, dirt or other foreign material to mix with the lubricants. Keep all lubrication equipment clean and
ready for use.
Cleaning. Keep all external parts not requiring Iubrication free of lubricants. Before lubricating the generator
set, wipe all lubrication points free of dirt and grease. Clean all lubrication points after lubricating to prevent
accumulation of foreign matter.

The crankcase oil level must be checked at eight hour intervals or more often should oil consumption
increase.
A new or reconditioned engine shall have the oil changed after 50 hours of operation. Thereafter,
the interval is lengthened to that described dependent on operating conditions.
Before draining the engine crankcase, operate the engine until the engine coolant reaches a mini-
mum of 140°F (60°C) to insure maximum suspension and drainage of particles.
Stop the engine. Remove the oil pan drain plug and open the oil pan drain valve, to drain the crankcase.
Close the oil pan drain valve and install the drain plug.
Refer to paragraph f. below and service the oil filter.
Fill the crankcase to the FULL mark on the dipstick with oil as specified in the Lubrication Order (para-
graph 3-2).
Operate the engine until the coolant reaches normal operating temperature.
CAUTION
Make sure that the proper side of the dipstick is checked. Equipment dam-
age could result if caution is not observed.
Check the oil level and add oil as necessary to bring it to the FULL level on the dipstick.
Inspect the engine for oil leaks. Repair as necessary.
