1-1 GENERAL.
1-1.1 Corrosion Prevention and Control.
Refer to Technical Manual TM94310-396-13, Chapter 1, Section 1-3 for
information concerning corrosion problems.
1-1.2 Hard Time Intervals. This 15 cfm, 175 psi air compressor is not enrolled in the Army Oil Analysis Program. Hard
time intervals apply. Hard time intervals are defined as harsh operating conditions such as high ambient temperatures,
extreme cold, high humidity, and high dusty or sandy conditions. Unusually high demands or heavy usage also qualify.
Should the compressor run loaded 75% or more of the time during operation would be considered as a period of heavy
use.
1-1.3 Hard Time Oil Service. For equipment under manufacturer's warranty, hard time oil service intervals shall be
followed. Intervals shall be shortened if lubricants are known to be contaminated or if operation is under adverse
conditions such as longer than usual operating hours, extended idling periods, or extreme dusty conditions.
2-1 LUBRICATION PROCEDURES.
2-1.1 General. Keep all lubricants in closed containers and store in a clean, dry place away from external heat. Keep
container covers clean to prevent dirt, dust, or other foreign material from mixing with the lubricants. Keep all lubrication
equipment clean and ready for use.
2-1.2 Cleaning. Keep all external parts not requiring lubrication free of lubricants. Before lubricating the equipment, wipe
all lubrication points free of lubricants, dirt, and grease. Clean all lubrication points after servicing to prevent the
accumulation of foreign matter.
2-1.3 1 Lubrication Points. Service the lubrication points at the proper intervals as specified in the lubrication procedure.
The intervals specified are based on normal operation. Modifications of the recommended interval may be required when
operating under unusual conditions.
