21. Lubrication for low temperature operation. When reel unit RL-31(*) is used under
extremely low temperature conditions, lubricate the unit more frequently. Before each
lubrication, remove all traces of existing lubricant by washing the part with cleaning compound.
Failure to remove old lubricant will result in impaired performance at low temperatures.
Lubricate with grease and oil. When lubricating, apply only sufficient lubricant to prevent wear
of moving parts. Remove all excess lubricant.
