6.0 LUBRICATIONGeneralThis section covers the lubrication of this machine andincludes lubrication charts for the purposed of showingthe lubrication points. The various capacities of thismachine, and listing the lubricant specifications, areincluded.2. Military Specification Number. This number is usedin the military lubrication system to identify aspecific type of lubricant. This lubricant identifiedby the specification number that is listed in thesame row of the lubricant specification chart.LubricationTo ensure proper operation of this machine, all pointsrequiring lubrication must be serviced with the correctlubricant at the proper time interval as shown on thelubricant chart. All normal wear points, which requirelubrication, are shown in the lubrication charts. Thepossible exception, lubrication information concerningmajor purchased components, information concerningpurchased components, see the manufacturer’s manual.If any conflict exists between the lubricationrecommendations contained in this manual and theoriginal manufacturer’s service recommendations, theoriginal manufacturer’s recommendations takeprecedence. Points (levers, linkages, pins etc.) shouldbe lubricated with an oil can once a week. Use a fewdrops of engine oil on each exposed pin or lever notequipped with grease fittings to prevent rust and toprovide the limited lubrication required.6.1 LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONSThe absence of an entry in the Military SpecificationColumn of a lubricant specification chart does not meanthat the recommended lubricant does not have anequivalent military specification. It may mean that thelubricant has not been tested by the military because itis a relatively new lubricant. For this reason, thelubricant may not be certified as meeting the standardsof a particular military specification even though it maybe perfectly capable of meeting the military standards.3. Equivalent Lubricant. These are lubricants thatpresently meet the Terex standards. Theselubricants are listed under the manufacturer’s tradenames. The absence of a lubricant from this listdoes not mean that Terex considers the lubricantunsuitable. It means that Terex has not yet testedthe lubricant. The order in which the lubricantsappear on any list does not signify any preferenceor superiority of any brand name. The listings arepurely random and all products on the list areequally acceptable.The lubrication specifications that follow were in effectat the time this manual was printed. Thesespecifications are periodically updated to include themost recent lubricants issued by lubricantmanufacturers.The following list defines three terms. Each one of theterms can be used to identify the type of lubricantneeded to satisfy the lubricant specifications listed inthe lubrication charts ( see page 60)1. Terex Specification Number. This number is usedin the Material Specifications system to identify aspecific type of lubricant.57.4400.0100 TX51-19M-1-SM 01-29-0259
