Section I. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-1. GENERAL LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
Do not start engine or move distributor when anyone is under the vehicle. Severe
injury may result.
NOTE
The following lubrication instructions are mandatory to keep the distributor
operating properly.
a.
Intervals. Intervals (on-condition or hard time) and the related man-hour times are based on normal operation.
The man-hour time specified in the lubrication chart is the time needed to do all the services prescribed for a particular
interval. The hard time interval should be changed if lubricants are contaminated or if the equipment is operated under
adverse conditions. The calendar interval may be extended during periods of low activity. If extended, adequate
preservation precautions must be taken. Hard time intervals must be applied during the warranty period. Intervals shown
in this lubrication chart are based on calendar and hourly times, or calendar times and mileage. An example of a
calendar/hourly lubrication is: M/60 HR, in which M stands for monthly and 60 HR means sixty hours of vehicle operation.
The lubrication is to be performed at whichever interval occurs first. Special lubrication intervals and services are shown
by an asterisk (*) symbol.
b.
Determination of Operating Hours. The reading on the hourmeter is the basis for all lubrication intervals based on
hours of operation.
