Schedule Regular Lubrication

One of the first and most important maintenance checks concerns lubrication. You should survey your equipment for any signs of excess oil or grease build-up around pistons, and look for leaks near oil seals. The composition of these substances can help you diagnose problems with large machinery, and any particles or contaminants you find will indicate which part is suffering from wear.

A lubrication schedule for equipment needs to be dynamic, making sure you can practically respond to situations on a daily and preventative manner and not just periodically.
