Advice for Controlling Contamination
|
|
|
|
When changing or topping off an oil supply system with a filter cart, consider using quick couplers to ensure a clean exchange of fluid. Have a "dummy" connection on the cart to fasten the fill hose to when not in use. This will help keep the hose-end coupling clean and prevent contamination. Make sure the coupler on the machine also has a cover to prevent contamination. (Dick Kramek, 3-D Service)

Lube mapping is a great practice for ensuring all lube points are properly maintained while minimizing the chances of lubricant cross-contamination. Not only does it help new workers identify and address all lubrication points on a given piece of equipment, but it also serves as a check to make sure even the most experienced technicians are hitting all the points as well.
