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, heater control knob, and tiedown shackles and plunger. Lubricate cargo shell door paddle lock, rear wire handle lock, and cargo shell door latches with PL-S. 2. Winch Wire Rope. WARNING Wear leather gloves when handling winch wire rope. Do not handle wire rope with bare hands. Broken wires may cause injury. NOTE Front and rear winch lubri- cation is identical. After each use, clean and lubricate winch wire rope with GWR. Clean entire wire rope with wire brush. 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 semiannually, whichever occurs first, clean pintle with wire bush and lubricate rear plate fitting with seasonal grade OE. 4. Steering System. CAUTION Do not overlubricate tie rod ends and upper and lower control arm ball joints. One or two shots is adequate. Excessive lubrication 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 and rear propeller shaft, steering column, U-joints, slip yokes, tie rods, upper and lower control arm ball joints, radius rods, pitman arm, intermediate steering shafts, and idler arm with GAA/HDO every 3,000 mi (4,827 km), or semiannually, whichever comes first. Insert enough grease in each U-joint to purge air and impurities of all four cross-bearings. If one or more cross bearings do not purge, then shake, rotate and/or hit shaft with a rubber mallet to help purge cross-bearings. Repair or replace bearing if necessary, notify your supervisor NOTES Change 1 G-15 TM 9-2320-387-10
