| Cap Disconnected Hoses During Maintenance |
|
| Always ensure that disconnected hoses are capped while maintenance is taking place. It is surprising how much debris can enter an open pipe. This will find its way into the system in short order, causing accelerated wear.

Although filter carts are often used for any fluid needing filtration regardless of chemical make-up and viscosity grade, this is a practice that should be avoided. These carts are rarely flushed out adequately between uses. The best place to combat misuse of your filter carts is to start with the design.

GET THE ANSWER
From "The Practical Handbook of Machinery Lubrication":
Careful, well-planned lubricant storage is essential if contamination and problems associated with severe temperature changes are to be avoided. Costly lawsuits have been fought unnecessarily because lubricant users unwittingly allowed stored lubricants to become contaminated with water, additive or grease thickener separation occurred, or severe temperature changes caused other problems such as oil oxidation or freezing in storage.
