General

Servicing is based on hours run and/or calendar periods expired. The equipment is to be serviced when any of the specified servicing limits is reached. Unit commanders are permitted to reduce the period between services or add servicing operations to meet extraordinary requirements. A scheduled service may be anticipated or delayed within a limit of plus or minus ten percent of the schedule, to meet operational needs and to assist workshop planning.

Fluid Sampling and Analysis

Fluid sampling is used to predict component failure or alleviate the equipment servicing maintenance liability. All systems and components utilizing fluid as a transfer medium or for lubrication are subject to fluid sampling and analysis. Fluid sampling is to be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Schedule and is used as an alternative to replacing fluid. Fluid sampling and analysis (Ref EMEI Engr Equip A 019-1) may be carried out:

• in lieu of when ‘drain’ or ‘replace’ fluid is stated in the relevant equipment servicing table;
• when an internal component fault or failure is suspected; or
• when fluid is suspected of being contaminated.

Table 1 Servicing Schedule

If an hourly-based service is not carried out within a 24-month period, then a 24- monthly service is to be completed. Where two types of period are expressed (e.g. 1000 hours or 24 months) the service is to be applied at the expiration of the first occurring period. During all servicing procedures, bolts and nuts that require re-tightening or adjusting, which have been assembled using Loctite products, are to have the Loctite renewed.
