Lube the Landing Gear
Dear Half-Mast,
\'VE 1e±n
FEeUNG
t²FT³f/u.£0 ´
I see a lot of land±
ing legs on M172 or
M172A 1 lowbed semi±
trailers
that
are
not
f²lled with oil.
J
The lube chart on
Page 4-2 of TM 9-2330³
211´14&P (Sep 84) has
the wordµ
The
oil
lubes
the
elevating screws and
helps keep
the
legs
moving up and downµ
.,;
'
'!
J
To
make sure
the
oiL's there, mechanics
should
remove
the
lower drain plugs on
the legs.
If there's no oil, they
should clean the legs
like it says on Page
4-144 of the TM and
f¶l with oil.
