SURFACE MILWAUKEE OPS 1A1 MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

1.0 SCOPE / PURPOSE

This specification covers premium gear oils produced from synthetic or semi-synthetic base stocks and
compounded with extreme pressure additives for high load carrying ability.

Materials furnished to Issue No. 3 of this specification had a single flash point requirement whereas this
issue now covers a variety of ambient temperatures.

Materials furnished under this specification are intended to lubricate gears, bushings, plain and rolling element
bearings, sprockets, chain drives, and other components enclosed in oil-tight housings, and operating under
high speed, high torque, high shock load, and/or high speed, low torque conditions. WARNING: Do not use oils
containing EP additives or other friction modifiers in applications containing internal mechanical load brakes,
backstops or clutches. Additionally, certain EP formulations may not be compatible with bronze gears as found
in worm gear cases.

Materials furnished under this specification may be used in sump (splash), circulating, or total-loss
applications.

Materials furnished under this specification may be used as replacements for P&H specification 496 or 498
gear oils, when extremes in ambient temperatures require seasonal changes to different viscosities. Consult
P&H Mining Equipment Engineering or Service prior to making such a substitution.

Materials furnished under this specification are intended for use in applications where MIL-L-2105 (latest issue)
and/or API Service GL-5 gear oils are a requirement.

Materials furnished under this specification are not intended for use in applications where bulk oil operating
temperatures routinely range from 77C/170F to 107C/225F.

2.0 PROCEDURE

2.1 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

These gear oils must be formulated with full synthetic or semi-synthetic base fluids.

NOTICE: Numerous types of synthetic and semi-synthetic fluid formulations may be applicable to this
specification, some of which may be chemically incompatible. Therefore, different brands or types of synthetic
or semi-synthetic fluids should not be intermixed such as during system top-off, without consulting the lubricant
supplier(s).

These lubricants may not contain viscosity or viscosity index enhancers that are subject to breakdown under
extended shearing conditions.

These lubricants must have chemical and physical stability to maintain viscosity and performance
characteristics throughout their intended service life.

P&H 474 A-K Page 2 of 4 Ver. 5.0, 02-95 MATERIAL SPECIFICATION

Any EP or other friction modifiers used in the formulation of these lubricants must be fully oil soluble, and/or be
in a stable colloidal suspension.

These materials shall meet applicable safety, health and environmental regulations.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) - One (1) with each shipment.
The lubricant furnished under this specification shall be supplied in clean containers of the size(s) as specified
on the purchase order.

2.5 INSPECTION AT PURCHASERS WORKS

Acceptance of material furnished under this specification shall be subjected to confirmation by customer's
Quality Assurance Department.

The purchaser shall have the option of accepting or rejecting any material failing to meet the requirements of
this specification.

2.6 ADDITIONAL CRITERIA OF ACCEPTANCE

Conformance to all specified requirements shall not constitute the sole basis of acceptance, since all lubricants
must be judged further on their satisfactory field performance in P&H equipment.

Lubricant change frequency, or relubrication volume and frequency, can directly affect the performance of a
lubricant and the economies of operation. Consult the equipment shop manual, and lubricant supplier for the
proper change frequency, or relubrication volume and frequency, for each application.

The suitability of a lubricant is highly dependent upon environmental conditions. It is the consumer's
responsibility to provide lubricant suppliers with the following:
Actual application and copy of this specification.
Environmental data - ambient temperature range and weather conditions.
Type of centralized lubrication system(s), including pump, filtration and reservoir data, when applicable.
It is the responsibility of the consumer to verify that lubricants conform to applicable environmental and safety
codes governing their use and disposal.
