CAUTION!

Thorough inspection of the engine through- the air boxes and engine blowers (where applicable) is necessary to avoid the damage of hydraulic lock.

Ensure all temporary modifications to lube oil piping, resulting-from flush operation-have been reconfigured to the original installation. Ensure lock wire on all main bearing jumper: lines and lube oil gallery end: plugs have been reinstalled. Confirm blank flanges to. Main bearings (if installed) are removed.

Ensure strainer-and filter bypass valves are properly set.

3.2.5.7.6 Refill NIDE with new contractor provided lube oil with MIL-L-9000H, 9250 lube oil.
