1. Oil Can Points. Lubricate all oil can points every 3,000 mi (4,827 km), or semi- annually, whichever occurs first. Use seasonal grade OE on hood hinges, tailgate hinges, door hinges, door handles, transfer case shift linkage, accelerator linkage, transmission shift linkage, heater control shutoff valve lever and pin, and heater control knob and plunger. Lubricate cargo shell door front paddle lock, rear wire handle lock and cargo shell door latches with PL-S, (M996, M996A1, M1025, M1025A1, M1025A2, M1026, M1026A1, M1036, M1043, M1043A1, M1043A2, M1044, M1044A1, M1045, M1045A1, M1045A2, M1046, and M1046A1 only). 2. Winch Wire Rope. .WARNING. Wear leather gloves when handling winch wire rope. Do not handle wire rope with bare hands. Broken wires cause injury. After each use, clean and lubricate winch wire rope. Clean entire wire rope with wire brush. Do not lubri- cate winch wire rope in dry, dusty conditions. Perform winch wire rope cleaning and lubrication every 3,000 mi (4,827 km) or semiannually, whichever occurs first, when wire rope is not used. 3. Pintle. Every 3,000 mi (4,827 km), or semi- a n n u a l l y, whichever occurs first, clean pintle with wire bush and lubricate rear plate fitting with seasonal grade OE. 4. Steering System. CAUTION Do not over lubricate tie rod ends and upper and lower ball joints. One or two shots is adequate. Excessive lubrica- tion will result in the boot rupturing. Observe the boot during lubrication: a seeping condition indicates adequate lubrication; expansion of the boot indicates over lubrication. Lubricate front propeller shaft, steering column, U-joints, slip yokes, tie rods, upper and lower ball joints, radius rods, pitman arm, intermediate steering shafts, and idler arm with GAA every 3,000 mi (4,827 km), or semiannually, whichever comes first. 5. Power Steering Reservoir. CAUTION Use D e x r o n ® II or Dexron ® III for filling power steering r e s e r v o i r. Failure to use Dexron ® II or Dexron ® III will cause damage to power steering system. Check the fluid level in the power steering reservoir and adjust level as n e c e s s a r y. Level must be above “ADD” mark. Fluid does not require periodic changing. NOTES Change 1 G-15 TM 9-2320-280-10
