shall be installed at a height of not less than 42 inches above the platform. Each access opening
shall be guarded by a removable safety chain.
3.10 Lubrication. All surfaces requiring lubrication shall be provided with a means for
lubricating. A lubrication chart in accordance with SAE J753 shall be furnished with each
distributor.
3.10.1 Lubricants. The procedure for the selection of lubricants shall be in accordance with
section 5 of MIL-STD-838. Lubricants selected shall be in accordance with chapter 2 of

qualified products list (QPL) the lubricant supplied shall be from a source that is listed on the
applicable QPL (see 6.5).
3.10.2 Lubrication fittings. Lubrication fittings shall conform to SAE J534. Fittings shall be
located in a protected position. Fittings shall be accessible to a grease gun conforming to
MIL-G-3859, equipped with a straight hydraulic coupler and a 10-inch flexible extension.
Accessibility to fittings shall be provided without the removal or adjustment of accessories or

sight gages to determine the level of the lubricant. Each enclosure shall be equipped with a
means for filling the enclosure with lubricant and for draining. The drain outlets, except outlets

outlet shall be located so that removal of the plug will result in complete drainage of the

container. Accessibility to the drain plug, the filling means, and the lubricant-level checking
device shall be provided.
