quick wear.
It seems like
I’m
always
in
too big a hurry
to get anything
right
.
1.
wipe off fittings before
you lube.
2.
replace fittings that
won’t take grease.
.. they’re
plugged.
3.
wipe off grease when
you finish.
4.
give universal joint
fittings a single shot of
grease from a hand gun.
too much
grease can
blow seals.
5.
replace broken fittings.
6.
use a bearing packer on
wheel bearings. do not pack
the hubs full of grease.
7.
eyeball the gear case
breather vents, make sure
they’re not clogged.
8.
never mix lubes. the mix
will not work as well as
either one alone.
9.
don’t over-lube or under-
lube. pay close attention to
the
notes
in the lube order
(lo)
. they will often give
you the scoop on how to
lube correctly.
There was a young Private named Scurry,
Whose bad PM habits caused worry!
He found (to his woe),
If he'd read the
l.o.
,
His distress would’ve eased in a hurry!
I
told
him to do
PMCS!
We have the
world’s best
equipment…
take care
of it!
