(1) Weekly Inspection
(a) Check the oil level by means of the dipstick or oil level plug and if
necessary, top up with the recommended grade of
lubricant.
(b) Ensure that breathers
are cleaned regularly. Care must be taken not to paint over the breathers,
otherwise pressure will
build up, resulting in oil leakage.
(c) On units having grease lubricated bearings, add two shots of grease from a
grease gun, or where screw-in type lubricators
are fitted, screw in the
lubricator two turns and refill when necessary with the recommended grease.
