Description

Routine inspection of a machine’s lubrication system is one of the easiest and most productive ways to avoid equipment failure. This book describes many lubrication-related variables that can be quickly and easily monitored in a short timeframe. These inspections will be revealing, and can serve as the foundation of a precision lubrication management program.

A bonus of this program is that the operators and mechanics who perform the routine inspections will have a new awareness of the importance of effective lubrication.
