NOTES (CONT):
4 Due to the possibility of cross-contamination of engine and transmission oil, use oil from the same
specification in the engine and the transmission as much as possible and within the recommendations of
the BHT-206L1-FM-1 (BHT-206L3-FM-1 for 206L1 Engine Upgrade and BHT-206L4-FM-1 for 206L1+
I IGW Upgrade). If DOD-L-85734 is used or required in the transmission, it is recommended to use third
generation turbine oil per MIL-PRF-23699 in the engine gearbox, such as AeroShell Turbine Oil 560 or
Royco Turbine Oil 560.
5 Ensure all the fluid oil has been removed from the gearbox before replenishing. Servicing in excess of
specified amount may result in oil leakage out of the pitch change mechanism.
6 Cut open and spread out paper element of filter. Inspect for condition (Chapter 66).

Table 12-5. Grease Lubrication — Servicing (Cont)
NOTES (CONT):
1 Do the servicing when the hour interval or the calendar time interval is completed, whichever occurs first.
2 Purge lubricate.
3 Service whenever a new component is installed.
4 Special lubrication requirements:
a. After each day of operation in rain showers or after washing main rotor hub, purge lubricate all
exposed control bearings to remove trapped moisture and ensure a lube film is applied to
susceptible surface.
b. Before each flight, when helicopter has been exposed to high ambient temperatures, purge
lubricate main rotor grips and pillow blocks/trunnion to ensure that any grease that may have
separated will be replaced by fresh grease. This practice will prevent premature brinelling of
main rotor yoke bearing journals.
c. If helicopter is parked outside in a heavy dew environment, purge lubricate all exposed control
bearings every 7 days. This practice will reduce risks of moisture being trapped in voids.
d. If helicopter has been, or will be parked or stored for a period exceeding 45 days without
operation or service, purge lubricate all bearings. Same applies to spare components on shelf.
e. Do not use high pressure water, steam, or solvent wash when cleaning rotating control
bearings. High pressure will force water, solvent and sometimes foreign particles into the
bearing cavity. After each wash, all bearings exposed to the wash should be lubricated.
5 Service more frequently than recommended if conditions warrant.
6 Intermixing brands of grease in the same MIL spec is not permitted. When changing from one brand of
grease to another, within the same MIL spec, purge until old grease is depleted.
7 Inject grease slowly. Excessively rapid injection could cause pressurization of grease cavities and may
result in: forcing grease past grip excluder seal, popping or pushing out seals, damaging seals, or other
undesirable effects.
8 Remove the grease relief valve (5, Figure 12-5) from the top of the pitch horn before lubricating main
rotor grip (4) bearings.
9 To prevent pumping grease into tail rotor gearbox, remove lockwire and boot around pitch change shaft
trunnion before purging bearings with grease. Then, wipe all grease from inside of the boot; do not use
solvent on boot. Reinstall boot with lockwire.
10 Lubricate tail rotor driveshaft hanger bearings (9) as follows:

BHT-206L1-MM-1
NOTES (CONT):
a. Wipe the exterior side surfaces of bearings to reveal the four .080 inch (2 mm) diameter holes.
Use a clean dry cloth with caution to avoid forcing dirt and expelled lubricant under the seal and
into bearing.
b. Using a 6 cc medical syringe (or equivalent) with a 18-gauge hypodermic needle, inject 0.5 cc of
grease into each bearing (one side only). If needle does not fully enter seal and bearing,
remove needle and rotate bearing slightly to clear ball cage. Do not force needle in. Reinsert
again and inject grease.
c. Needle shall be purged prior to each use. External surfaces of needle shall be lubricated to
prevent damaging the bearing seal. Wipe excess grease that is expelled from bearing.
d. The maximum recommended bearing operating temperature is 185°F (85°C). In the first 15–20
hours after lubrication, it is normal for a bearing to run 90°F (32°C) hotter than the maximum
recommended operating temperature.
e. Use solvent as required to clean all driveshaft parts except bearings. Avoid contact of solvent with
seal material.
f. CAUTION shall be exercised to prevent Corrosion Preventative Compound from contacting the
bearing grease seals.
11 Lubricate swashplate duplex bearing as follows:
a. Use only the intended lubrication fitting (7).
b. Purge lubricate until only new grease is expelled.
c. Rotate swashplate outer ring 90° and purge lubricate again as in step b. Repeat every 90° until full
turn is made.
d. To prevent contamination of Teflon lined spherical bearings, remove all purged grease from
duplex bearing. Wipe grease from all external surfaces. Lift lower lip of swashplate boot and wipe
off all visible grease from upper surfaces of swashplate and collective sleeve.
e. If grease has transferred past the upper seal and onto the uniball, the upper seal may be
damaged or may have been installed backward. Investigate and correct as required. Refer to
Chapter 67 of this manual.
12 Every time main rotor hub is disassembled, hub shall be lubricated during reassembly, after first run-up
and after first flight.
13 Remove, clean, inspect and install splined adapters (12) in accordance with Chapter 66. Use an acid
brush or equivalent brush to apply a thick layer of grease to male splines of shaft and to female splines of
adapters. After reassembling adapters to shaft, remove excess grease.
14 Plastilube No. 3 (C-012) may be used as an alternate to grease MIL-G-81827 (C-525).
15 Grease (C-561) may be used as an alternate to grease MIL-G-81827 (C-525). I

16 If grease type is changed, old grease must be wiped away from splines completely to avoid
incompatibility resulting in poor performance.
17 Plastilube No. 3 (C-012) and grease MIL-G-81827 (C-525) may be used as alternates.

19 Refer to paragraph 12-44 for main driveshaft lubrication. Expiration date of the grease (C-015)
(204-040-755-005) used in this assembly can be determined by taking the manufacturing date marked on

manufacturing dates, the expiration shall be calculated as above using the earliest manufacturing date.
The expiration date shall be recorded prior to greasing. After completion of shaft assembly and any

with the following statement:
"Expiration date of grease (C-015) (204-040-755-005) is XX-XX-XX (day/month/year). If this assembly is
