The procedures found in this Service Manual may recommend the use of
commonly used shop supplies (lubricants, sealants, and adhesives). A
symbol denoting the use of a shop supply may appear in figures that support
a procedure. Always refer to the written procedure for specific information
regarding the type and the application of a shop supply.
Always follow manufacturers instructions when using or storing

shop supplies.

Shop Supplies
ANTI-SEIZE LUBRICANT
Used to prevent corrosion, galling, and seizure between metal parts. Most
often applied to shafts and bores during assembly. Unless otherwise
specified, high viscosity regular grade lithium-graphite based anti-seize
lubricant should be used.
GREASE
Can be used to pre-fill (pack) bearings, boots, and seals before assembly,
ease installation of components during assembly, or fill cavities between
moving parts through grease fittings after assembly. Unless otherwise
noted, refer to the machine Operator's Manual or Installation Instructions
for grease specifications.
THREAD LOCKING COMPOUND (thread locker)
Used to lock threaded fasteners in position. Available in low, medium and
high strength for various size fasteners and applications. Most thread
locking compounds are applied immediately prior to fastener installation.
Some thread locking compounds use a "Wicking" feature, and can be
applied after fastener installation. Most thread locking compounds allow
the fastener to be removed with standard tools once cured. High strength
thread locking compounds may require applying heat to the fastener and
the surrounding area to allow fastener removal.
Note: Some fasteners have a dry thread locking compound pre-applied
(Patch-Loc) so no additional thread locking compound is necessary when
installing a "new" fastener. These fasteners are designed to be removed
and re-installed only once before applying additional thread locking
compound is necessary.
RETAINING COMPOUND (bearings and sleeves)
An adhesive used to secure bearings, bushings, and cylindrical parts
into housings or onto shafts. When cured, bearing and sleeve retaining
compound fills the gap between mating parts with a hard resin that
increases load distribution and protects against corrosion.
ADHESIVE
Used to secure a variety of components immediately prior to assembly.
May be recommended for installing new components or when reusing a
component that had a pre-applied adhesive such as hood seals, mouldings,
and weather-stripping.
THREAD SEALANT
Used to seal threaded fittings and sensors from air, fuel, and oil pressure
leaks and prevent galling and seizure between threaded parts. A thread
sealant in paste firm is preferred over sealant tape. The sealant should
remain semi-pliable to allow for component removal with standard tools.
Some thread sealants may require the use of a cleaner or primer prior
to use.
