• The first defense against chronic equipment failure is a solid preventive maintenance (PM) program
• One of the more important aspects of a PM program is proper and periodic lubrication of rotating equipment
• This computer based training program provides a thorough understanding of lubricant choices
• Interactive aids make this a solid training and reference tool
• Learn proper lubrication methods and how to analyze oil test results
• This interactive CBT includes narrated text
