SAMPLING
WARNING
Prolonged contact with lubricating oil, MIL-L-2105, may cause skin rash. Skin and
clothing that come in contact with lubricating oil should be thoroughly washed
immediately. Saturated clothing should be removed immediately. Areas in which
lubricating oil is used should be well ventilated to keep fumes to a minimum.
Oil is very slippery. Immediately wipe up any spills. Failure to follow this warning may
cause injury.
There is no clearance for personnel between frame and yoke when roller turns. Injury or
death from crushing could occur.
Steering frame must be locked before lifting, transporting, or servicing roller in articulation
area with engine running. Failure to follow this warning may cause injury or death.
Unlock steering frame before operation. Failure to follow this warning may cause injury
or death.
When working on a running engine, provide shielding for exposed rotating parts. Tools,
clothing, or hands can get caught and cause injury.
CAUTION
Sample hydraulic oil with oil warm, not HOT, to allow for draining of waste particles that are
suspended in oil. As oil cools, suspended particles settle on the bottom of the hydraulic
reservoir and cannot be removed by draining oil. Failure to follow this recommendation
procedure can result in disproportionate sample collection.
NOTE
Refer to DA Pam 750-8 for sampling requirements.
Use drain pan to catch any hydraulic oil that may drain from system. Dispose of oil IAW
local policy and ordinances. Ensure all spills are cleaned up.
