Proper maintenance of locks can extend the life of the lock cylinders. Lubricate the lock cylinders using a Dry Film Aerosol Lubricant with PTFE (Teflon) during pre-delivery inspection and at least once per year, as needed. Cat recommends using Loctite Krytox RFE or Tri-Flow with PTFE.
Note: Do not use WD-40 or any other oil-based lubricant as the lubricant can attract dirt and bind the tumblers in the lock cylinder.
Lock Lubrication Procedure
