MAINTENANCE OF LUBRICATION SYSTEM
4-49.
GENERAL.
The
lubrication
system consists of an oil reservoir.
(4) Inspect filler hose (3) for
damage.
Replace if damaged.
Oil
filler/breather
assembly,
oil
filter, oil drains, lines and fittings,
oil pressure relief valve, oil cooler,
and an oil pump.
The purpose of the
system is to
lubricate
rotating
components
within
the
gearbox.
Lubrication is begun when the control
panel MASTER SWITCH is placed in START,
causing the starter shaft to rotate.
The starter shaft rotates the oil pump
shaft until the turbine shaft can take
over.
The oil pump draws lubricating
oil from the reservoir through a small
strainer.
The oil
is then pumped
through the oil filter and into the
lubrication system where it lubricates
gears and bearings on the turbine shaft
and the generator shaft.
NOTE
If not specified in maintenance
procedure,
apply
torque
in
accordance with table 1-1, Torque
Specifications.
4-50. OIL
FILLER/BREATHER ASSEMBLY.
The
oil
filler/breather
assembly
(figure 4-33) provides the means for
checking
and adding
oil.
It also
provides
ventilation
for
the
reservoir.
It consists of a filler cap
and oil level gage and a breather.
Maintenance
consists of
inspection,
replacement, and repair.
a.
Inspection.
(1) Loosen turnlock fasteners and
remove engine housing and plenum access
covers.
(2) Make sure breather vent tube
is securely in place.
Inspect tube for
damage.
Replace if damaged.
(3) Tighten hose clamps (2).
(5) Unscrew and remove filler cap
and oil
level
gage (1).
Inspect
threads in cap and threaded adapter in
mounting
bracket
(10) for
damage.
Replace damaged components as necessary.
(6) Inspect
mounting
bracket
drain tube (13) for damage or obstruc-
tion.
Remove obstruction or replace
damaged drain tube.
(7) Inspect
breather
housing
drain
tube
(5)
for
damage or
obstruction.
Remove
obstruction or
replace damaged breather drain.
(8) Install
engine housing and
plenum access covers.
Secure with
turnlock fasteners.
b.
Removal
(1) Loosen turnlock fasteners and
remove engine housing and plenum access
covers.
WARNING
To prevent injury, ensure that
battery cable plug connector is
disconnected from battery before
performing maintenance.
(2) Disconnect battery cable plug
connector from battery.
(3) Unscrew and remove filler cap
and oil level gage (1).
(4) Loosen hose clamps (2) and
remove filler hose (3).
(5) Disconnect breather vent tube
(4) from breather housing (9). Replace
hose clamps (15) and gasket (16) if
damaged.
