HOW
TO USE THIS BOOKLET
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND MECHANICAL SENSE IS LEARNED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT DIRECTLY RELATES TO COMMON SENSE!
CONGRATULATIONS: You are witnessing and about to use a totally NEW PRODUCT, one that industry has needed for some time. A POWERFUL penetrating and lubricating OIL SYSTEM that works.
First of all, Pal oils are unique. Unique in safety as well as formulation and performance. They also were developed in an unique environment, the frozen Alaska coast and Bering Sea.
PAL PRODUCTS WORK JUST AS THE LABEL SAYS THEY DO. WHO ELSE OFFERS A TOTAL OIL SYSTEM WITH A MANUAL TO HELP YOU GET GOING? WE STRIVE TO END MACHINE OIL CONFUSION.
Definition of penetrating oil:
An oil that readily penetrates into various materials, an oil with low lubricity but is normally associated with its ability to permeate metals. All oils may be construed to be penetrating and lubricating, but lubricating oils are at one end of the spectrum and penetrants are at the other end. In general terms, penetrating oils are lighter than lubricating oils and do not offer as much friction reduction. They are formulated to penetrate corrosion, such as rust.
With all penetrating oils, try to clean off the excess corrosion if you can, Always Shock the assembly by carefully tapping on it, if you can, with a hard implement such as a or wrench. Do this carefully so the machined areas are not damaged. Bolt threads are considered to be machined surfaces.
Definition of Lubricating oil:
An oil that is formulated to reduce friction and wear between two working surfaces, such as bearings, shafts, hinges, etc. Primary use is extending equipment life and tolerances between rotating and sliding surfaces. It may be a detergent or non detergent oil, depending upon application. Detergents and solvents are added to eliminate specific contamination problems. All lubricating oils are not fully compatible with one another. Use the right oil for the right job.
PROBLEM: Severely rusted bolts and nuts located in high salt water steam areas associated with crab cookers and other exposed process equipment. Most often found on steam traps and drain valves for cooking tanks in the marine food processing industry.
This procedure applies to all rusted or corroded assemblies, Do not expect PAL products to work through paint sealed objects. If bolts or assemblies are sealed with paint or plastic, this seal has to be broken with a wire brush or heat. Sometimes plastic dissolving solvents such as acetone have to be employed.
Expando will have to be broken with a shocking method such as described on the can of Expando. Expando is similar to concrete.
PROCEDURE: Try to remove excess corrosion if possible. This will cut down on the amount of Marine PAL, the chosen product for this job, that you have to use. Only a drop or two is actually required for small jobs. This amount depends upon total area to be treated. Tap or shock the bolts or nuts with a hammer or other tool, taking care not to hurt and exposed threads. A light tap is usually sufficient.
Apply Marine PAL to affected area. Wait a few seconds and then start loosening immediately by using a back and forth motion. If the item in question does not readily free up from this point, go to the next bolt and repeat the procedure until all bolts or nuts are coated with Pal, then go back to the first one and start over. You may have to re-shock the parts and reapply the oil.
There will be times when longer soaking is needed, but not very often. By now the object should be coming apart. Tapered parts cannot be driven against the wrong side of the taper. Do not try to drive tapered bearings, cogs or bushings off a tapered shaft or assembly the wrong way.
CAREFULLY STUDY THE OBJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON FIRST!
USE A DRAWING OR BOOK TO HELP YOU IF AVAILABLE . IF A PRESS FIT WAS USED TO ASSEMBLE THE PIECE IN QUESTION, HEAT THE OUTSIDE OBJECT, SUCH AS A GEAR, WHILE KEEPING THE INSIDE PIECE, SUCH AS A SHAFT, COOLER WITH A WATER SOAKED RAG. Try heating with boiling water first.
ENGINES AND CONTROL SYSTEMS:
PROBLEM: Frozen up engines, large or small, such as lawn mowers motorcycles, jet skis snowmobiles, car and truck engines, and all diesels.
If the machine is frozen up from long storage and moisture, or in the case of two cycle engines, from running without proper gas/oil mix and the engine has seized without melting the piston, try this procedure.
PROCEDURE: Remove spark plugs or injectors and charge each cylinder with a small amount of Lugbuster,Auto, Marine or Machine Pal.
Place socket or wrench on the crankshaft bolt, or in the case of a lawn mower, turn mower on its side and GENTLY tap on blade or socket wrench BOTH directions after four or five minutes of soaking time.
AT FIRST MOVEMENT DO NOT FORCE ENGINE ROTATION. THIS MAY CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGER TO CYLINDER WALLS OR RINGS, ADD MORE PAL AND GENTLY WORK PISTON BACK AND FORTH BY TAPPING ON THE SOCKET WRENCH OR MOWER BLADE IF POSSIBLE.
Soon the engine will rotate easily. Replace the spark plug wire on the plug and ground the metal end of the plug to the engine, rotate the machine by pulling on the starter cord or by using the electric starter. Watch the plug gap for a healthy spark. If a spark is not discernible, check for a loose or grounded connection in the wiring. The most common culprit for this problem is the shut off or kill switch.
All filters should be drained, replaced or cleaned, All settling bowls should be cleared. Pull the gas line connection from the carb and check for clean fuel. Clear the gas tank and fuel line of water and rust. In some cases the carb itself may be full of varnish or lacquer caused by old gas evaporation. Use a carb cleaner or acetone to clean this system.
In some cases the carb will have to be disassembled. Use PAL products for soaking first by immersing the entire carb to save the gaskets.
I suggest Lugbuster or Auto for this job to save money. Marine PAL is excellent but does cost more and you are not trying to protect the carb at this point.
Reassemble after cleaning with acetone or carb cleaner and remount. This most likely will have to be done if the machine was located in a dry, hot area such as the Southwest. The old gas has most likely been baked in and the sludge is a tough cross between varnish and lacquer. Thoroughly clean all passages and clear the jets, keeping in mind small carbs will malfunction if any sediment is left in them.
(Diesels do not have this problem and the injectors do not have to be disassembled. They should be soaked out with the chosen PAL product. I recommend using Auto or Marine PAL for diesels.)
If no two cycle oil is available for gas mix, add two ounces of Marine PAL or one ounce of Machine Pal to a gallon of gas and start the machine. Replace with proper gas mixture as soon as possible. Use the same procedure on four cycle engines.
The size of the engine will dictate the size of the tools required. Try to spray PAL on all rotating or sliding parts that might be corroded, such as valve stems, etc.
For diesels, remember the injector fuel pump barrels if a Bosch system is employed, pull the pump drain plugs and flood the pump assembly with PAL. This will help to prevent galling on the fuel barrel assemblies.
If the machine is turbo-charged, check the turbos for rotation, they should spin freely. They will not if the bearings and sealing surfaces are gummed by old oil.
In most cases it is wise to disconnect the oil lines to the unit or units and charge the turbo oil system with Machine or Marine Pal. This will protect the fine bearings until the normal oil pressure is obtained upon starting the machine. Do not forget to reconnect lines. Work the blades by hand until a freely spinning rotation is observed. Reconnect the oil lines.
From this time until the engine is rebuilt, I recommend using Machine PAL in the crankcase of the four stroke engines Damage has already been done, but the Machine Pal will keep the hurt minimal. Machine PAL already has GLO oil in it. Remember, all GLO oils are a 0-100 viscosity computer generated oils, special blends that contains no PTFEs, are compatible with synthetic oils, and are excellent for turbo-chargers.
EXAMPLE: Old frozen up forklift has to be turned into a serviceable item.
PROCEDURE: Remove spark plugs and fill cylinders with Pal Lugbuster, Auto, or Marine PAL. Spray down the entire machine with Lugbuster, including taking off the distributor cap and spraying out the mechanism. Wipe off excess PAL product from the points. Check the coil and battery, and change them if necessary.
While engine is sitting, work all linkages over with Marine PAL, and remove carburetor from the engine. Completely clean carb, using Marine PAL for disassembly, and check floats for holes. Pin holes may be plugged by cleaning and degreasing the float, then painting it with super glue. Allow the glue 24 hours to set.
Roll the engine over by using the battery. Be sure to cover the spark plug holes with rags as the PAL Lugbuster is going to be jetted out upon rotation. Because of the scope of the job and engine size, you should wait at least ten minutes before doing this after filling the cylinders with PAL. After rotation, spray the cylinders with Marine Pal by jetting it through the spark plug holes, and let the machine soak over night, You have to wait for the carb to finish curing anyway.
Clean out the fuel tank and change all filters, check the radiator for leaks, check out the ignition system for spark before clearing and starting the engine with final assembly completed.
Be sure all gear boxes are in neutral and all brakes and linkages, including throttle and choke, are functioning properly before you fire off the engine. Check all fluid levels. Start the machine, Do not be one bit surprised if it takes off with a roar.
Add 8 ounces of Marine PAL to the crankcase oil and bring the engine up to temperature. Leave over night. Check all fluid levels after 24 hours. If everything is okay, start the machine, bring it up to temperature, and adjust the carb.
Change the oil and filter, Use Machine Pal in the new oil for additional protection and oil seal life extension. Bring engine up to temperature and readjust the carb mixture and idle one more time. If the machine had been running well before it was shut off and allowed to freeze up, it should be running well now. Quite likely even better...ours is.
PROBLEM: Corroded battery terminals and wiring connections. Wet electrical systems and leaky high tension coil and spark plug wires which are causing cross firing in gasoline engines.
PROCEDURE: Spray wiring and battery terminals with Marine PAL, Lugbuster, Auto or PAL Metal Preservative. PAL products neutralize acids, this will effectively prevent electrical sensor problems to computer controlled devices, such as the modules used in pollution controls and automotive ignition systems.
DO NOT USE PAL PRODUCTS TO CLEAN ELECTRICAL CONTACTS, SUCH AS IGNITION POINTS WITHOUT WIPING OFF EXCESS OIL. PAL PRODUCTS ARE SLIGHTY DIELECTRIC, IF THE DISTRIBUTOR WAS FULL OF WATER, WIPE OUT EXCESS AND SPRAY THE UNIT OUT. PLACE A PIECE OF ABSORBENT PAPER BETWEEN POINT SURFACES TO CLEAN, REPLACE CAP AND ROTOR ASSEMBLY AND START ENGINE.
The best Pal product to use for this purpose is by far Marine PAL, especially if this fork lift is a sea going one. Auto PAL would be my second choice , with Lugbuster finishing a distant third.
PROBLEM: Exhaust system disassembly.
PROCEDURE: Spray down all clamps, hangers, manifold and pipe joints to be worked on in affected area with Auto, Lugbuster of Marine PAL. Using a rubber or a piece or wood to cushion a steel pounding tool, gently tap the sliding joint apart after freeing the pipe hangers. Take care not to use too much force in case the system is badly deteriorated.
If heat seems to be required, use the engine to supply heat rather than a torch as it is much safer. Allow the pipe to cool down to hand comfort and reapply the PAL product of choice. The same heating procedure can be used for the manifold.
It is counter productive to heat the pipe over 200 degrees. 120-140 degrees is a nice Pal temperature to speed the process up. If you are operating a professional shop, it may be faster to cut the system free, if the proper parts are available for replacement. Marine PAL will not readily flash, but take care as there are other combustibles present under automotive equipment.
PROBLEM: Squeaky or sticky disk brake mechanisms.
PROCEDURE: Spray the units down with Auto or Lugbuster. This will not hurt the brakes. The lighter oils evaporate from the pads rapidly, DO NOT USE THIS METHOD FOR INTERIOR DRUM BRAKE MECHANISMS!
IMPORTANT TIP! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE USING TEFLON BASED PRODUCTS, KEEP IN MIND A LEAKY SEAL IN EITHER THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSES OIL TO IMPACT CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE AND DISC SYSTEMS IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION UNITS WILL CAUSE THESE UNITS TO FAIL. THESE PLATES WILL BECOME TEFLON PLATED AND SLIP, REMEMBER, SOME ITEMS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE LUBRICATED! DO NOT SPRAY DOWN BRAKE MECHANISMS WITH TEFLON PRODUCTS!
PROBLEM: Rough riding trucks and other vehicles that use leaf springs.
PROCEDURE: Spray down springs and all suspension parts and bushings with Marine PAL, then follow with PAL Metal Preservative for protection.
This is especially important if you are traveling on salted roads. Once a year will do the job, suspension performance and give the drivers and passengers a much smoother ride. It will also help keep the tires on the road which increases fuel economy. I suggest starting when the vehicle is new. Why wait?
PROBLEM: Sticky, squeaky or hard sliding glass doors and window mechanisms, especially those made of aluminum. Hinges on car doors, hoods, trunks, lock mechanisms, control cab cables and automotive choke linkages.
PROCEDURE: Clean off all dirt on sliding surfaces and lubricate with Marine Pal. Work door or mechanism back and forth. Follow with Machine Pal twice annually until desired glass like smoothness of operation is obtained.
This should be done at least every two years. Triple the life of the door and window mechanisms. All hinges will become surprisingly smooth in operation and will stay that way for months, if not years, depending upon the prevalent environment.
TIPS ON REBUILDING AND STORAGE OF ENGINES:
When assembling a newly rebuilt engine, spray all parts down with Marine or Machine Pal, this will prevent a dry start. Do not use any engine additives in the crankcase until the new rings are seated, and then use only additives that will not change the ASTM ratings. At least wait until the engine has sufficient age on the parts to warrant these high viscosity products.
When storing any engine for long periods, add Marine PAL to the gas tank if it is not to be drained. About two ounces per gallon of fuel, for small engines, just use an ounce in the tank. Run the machine and then shut the fuel off to the carb until the engine quits. If the oil is dirty, change it before you do this.
In any case, use Desert Pal and/or Machine Pal in the crankcase oil. If the engine is a two cycle, add Marine PAL to the gas in conjunction with the manufactures recommended oil. This will keep the rings and valves from sticking, and the carb from gumming and seizing with interior corrosion.
DO NOT RUN THE ENGINE OUT OF FUEL IF IT IS A DIESEL! USE THE STANDARD SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE!
Drain all moisture traps and cooling system if possible. If the cooling system is not practical to drain make sure it has the proper coolant mix to insure against block freeze up during cold weather periods.
Spray the outside of the unit down with Auto or Marine PAL to keep exterior linkages and controls protected.
Why use an oil additive at all? PAL products do not believe in planned obsolescence. The American people can no longer afford these long range manufacturing plans. Cut friction, cut wear and increase fuel economy.
CHAIN SAWS AND BRUSH CUTTERS: Follow all two stroke suggestions. Add four ounces of Machine Pal to a gallon of your favorite bar oil. Wood chips find it difficult to stick to cutting surfaces. Spray these entire units down with Marine PAL for storage purposes.
AIRCRAFT
PROBLEM: Sticky control cables and hinges on light aircraft, ONLY USE MARINE PAL FOR THIS JOB UNLESS THESE ARE CABIN CONTROLS OR ARE LOCATED IN A HEATED AREA.
PROCEDURE: Use Marine PAL for clearing, cleaning, and protection. Follow with the manufacturerÍs recommended lubricant. Controls that get sticky due to temperature and humidity will began to behave themselves, Marine PAL is excellent for aircraft use.
PROBLEM: Aluminum corrosion and pitting on aluminum vessels, including aircraft.
PROCEDURE: Spray down the surface with Machine, Marine, Or PAL Metal Preservative, wait a few minutes and wipe the excess off. Applied biannually, Pal products will virtually eliminate deterioration. LUGBUSTER OR AUTO PAL IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THIS PURPOSE!
FARM APPLICATIONS
PROBLEM: Rusted up gardening or farming equipment and tools that are stuck.
PROCEDURE: Spray with PAL Lugbuster, Auto, or Marine PAL. Work scissors, shears, pliers, crescent wrenches, dikes, clamps, clippers, sprinklers, or anything else that rotates or slides slowly back and forth. Virtually anything will work free with a little persistence. For storage purposes, spray garden tools with PAL Metal Preservative. For shovels, diskers, mowers, plows harrows rakes, tractors, hoes, bailers, and loaders, use PAL Metal Preservative for year round protection on the farm.
The protective coating is tough and ecologically sound. It is easy to remove or put back into solution with Auto or Lugbuster. Use Machine PAL for any thing else, including your firearms if Marine or Sports PAL is not available.
All of the procedures in this booklet apply directly to the farm in some location.
Drain and spray down your irrigation pumps with Marine or Machine PAL, making sure the impeller area is saturated. Spray down all pipe and clamp connections using the tips for aluminum aircraft. Keep in mind Marine or Machine PAL can be mixed with greases, watch farm profits go up while maintenance costs go down.
TOOLS IN GENERAL
PROBLEM: Sticky air tool mechanisms, such as hoists and drills.
PROCEDURE: Disconnect air tool from high pressure air line and directly inject Lugbuster, Auto, Marine PAL or Machine Pal into the mechanism by way of the air passage.
Reconnect to air source and operate the tool. You may have to repeat this procedure more than once. DO NOT USE PAL METAL PRESERVATIVE FOR THIS PROCEDURE!
Add Marine or Machine PAL to the in line lubricator fluid,(About 10%). Most problems clear up reasonably fast unless damaged parts were involved.
PROBLEM: Frozen up drills, skill saws, routers, blowers, or other small electrical motors, and turntable mechanisms on recording equipment.
PROCEDURE: Using Marine PAL, or Machine Pal, and work a few drops into the bushing and bearing areas of the motor. Normally the tool will take right off if the brushes and armature are good. The tool most likely will be good for months afterward, if not years.
Bronze bushings love PAL products. Every thing I have done this to is still running. The other PAL products should not be used for this purpose if long lasting effects are expected.
Those of you who have tried Teflon products for this purpose and were disappointed, it is due to the fact Teflon requires heat and pressure to bond properly with the materials. Teflon is much like throwing slick sawdust into a mechanism to quiet it down. It is placed in a carrier oil as a ground up substance, and normally the particles are ground just small enough to pass through the oil filter. Teflon does not penetrate into the metal like Pal products do. PAL products do not change the machine tolerances and Teflon does!
PROBLEM: Drill bits and reamers wearing out too fast on long drilling or machining processes. Galling is occurring in precision holes drilled into aluminum, and tearing is present in tapping threads into same material.
Cutting bits are jumping on lathing material due to hard and soft spots in the metal being machined, namely aluminum or other material such as cast bronzes and cheap steels.
PROCEDURE: Depending upon material hardness, use PAL Lugbuster, Auto, Marine PAL or Machine Pal to cool the bits and keep the machined material from sticking to cutting edges.
Extremely high temperatures occur at the cutting edge of these bits. The multi-viscosity GLO oil present in PAL products has varied boiling points that will keep the cutting tools tempered for long usage. PAL products will easily triple the life of these tool bits and save seriously problematic working materials. For the metal lathe or milling machine, use Machine PAL for lubrication on all machine surfaces and bearings. At the very least, triple the life of the machine tolerances and eliminate costly repairs.
For economy, use the least expensive PAL product available as
suited for the toughness of the job. Keep in mind the cost of PAL
products decreases when larger containers are purchased. The large
machine shop should consider Lugbuster in 55 gallon drums and recycle
the oil with catch basins and a 60 micron filtering system.
PIPE AND PLUMBING
PROBLEM: Plumbing fixtures and pipe applications.
PROCEDURE: Unions, swivels, and other connectors normally come right apart. Pipe can present a problem if it was stuck together with space age products such as Loctite or the older Expando.
Any other plumbers products can be softened with heat and when this is followed up with Marine Pal, the results have been good. If the other products were employed or suspected, tap around the pipe joint with a hammer, The shocking will sometimes crack the Expando or Loctite.
Hopefully this will be enough for the PAL to penetrate in. If you suspect Loctite or some similar material has been used, try acetone as a softening agent first.
DO NOT USE HEAT AROUND KETONES! DO NOT BREATH THE VAPORS! Follow with PAL products and then give it a try. Sometimes, this does the trick.
TOILETS: These things take longer as the associated corrosion occurs because the bowls collect condensation continuously, and this sweating has a tendency to lay around the mounting bolts. When toilets are cleaned , the excess chemicals in the cleaner are picked up by this condensation and move to the bolts. The corrosion formed may have the appearance of rust but actually is more complex than that.
Dry the bolts or nuts. Use Marine PAL. Apply every 30 minutes or wait over night. It takes longer for the product to work itÍs way through these salts to get to the corrosion.
Sticky butterfly, gate and ball valves of all sorts. Spray the assemblies down with Marine PAL if this is a new installation, then assemble.
For old valves with old packing carefully loosen packing nut after reducing systems pressure. Do not break this rule if you are working on refrigeration systems! Ammonia and other refrigerants can kill you! Add a few drops of Marine PAL to the packing and re-tighten gently.
For old butterfly type valves, keep them sprayed with Marine PAL until desired workability is achieved. Plumbing can be tough. Marine PAL is ultimately tougher!
SHOP TROUBLE SHOOTING MANUAL PART 2
A SPECIAL NOTE ON MARINE AND MACHINE PAL:
For top cylinder and valve lubrication use four ounces of Marine Pal to twenty gallons of gas or diesel. One ounce of Marine Pal to one quart of oil for sticky rings or lifters. Marine Pal also gives new life to old gaskets and seals.
Use Machine Pal in the crankcase of any engine at the ratio of two ounces per quart of your recommended oil and you will have a multi-viscosity oil the market currently cannot match. If your engine is turbo-charged,it will love you!
Remember, you are the end user. Lugbuster is timed to go off in 3.5 minutes before any reapplication. Marine Pal is adjusted to 4.5 minutes. Painted objects MUST have the paint seal broken! If the presence of Loctite is suspected, use acetone first. Pal products are not paint removers nor do they work on Loctite or similar products. Always SHOCK the object first before applying the oil. Do this without hurting the surface.
If you can clean the surface area up somewhat, this helps and saves oil. Remember, corrosion is like a sponge, and large sponges hold more fluid than small ones,. By cleaning the object with a wire brush before using the products, you save oil and money. Work it back and forth to aid the oil and save the object. DON'T JUST FORCE IT ONE WAY! THIS WILL DAMAGE THREADED SYSTEMS!
Objects that are water soaked take longer. Try to dry the object first if possible, this saves oil and time.
Last but not least, you have to out think the object you are working on. Was it painted or super glued? Was it epoxy coated or loctited? Was evidence of welding present? Is it tapered and if some which way? Does it have standard or left hand rotation? Was it originally a shrink fit?
Always remember oil does not dissolve salt. Washing the piece in question with warm water dissolves the salt. Then use the oil afterwards. This is an especially important tip for out board motors.
MARINE APPLICATIONS
LIGHTS, ANTENNA SYSTEMS AND STORAGE.
PROBLEM: Light bulbs stick in receptacles, are difficult to remove without breaking.
PROCEDURE: Place two drops of Marine PAL on light bulb threads, Screw in socket. The problem should never occur again as long as this procedure is maintained. This will also multiply the life of the fixture several times.If the fixture is sprayed out with Marine Pal, make sure the circuit is dead and wipe out the over spray as PAL products are dielectric. Do not us PAL Metal Preservative for this procedure!
PROBLEM: Parts corroding in storage lockers and shelves.
PROCEDURE: When assembling mechanisms, assemble with Machine PAL. Spray the exterior down with PAL Metal Preservative. If this is not readily available, use Marine Pal, to keep the dirt off. Store as you usually would, PAL Metal Preservative is much tougher than what most people are using, it will not readily wipe off after a day or two and will not dirty up storage areas with asphalts or thicken waxes that have a tendency to break down with time.
PAL Metal Preservative will penetrate through existing rust and stop further deterioration. Save your pipe and expensive hydraulic fittings with it. Unlike the other products available on the market, ours was formulated to go to sea.
PROBLEM: Antenna systems shorting out due to ice or salt water. Microwave dishes and mechanisms corroding. All television antenna systems in general.
PROCEDURE: Spray down with PAL Metal Preservative or Marine PAL. Reapply Marine PAL on the rotating and sliding mechanisms if PAL Metal Preservative was the product of choice. Protect both the paint and fastenings this way.
Pal Metal Preservative is excellent for home satellite systems, It keeps ice and snow damage down to a minimum, especially salt water ice. Electric drive motors are effectively sealed. You will have no loss of signal strength with PAL products. Instead older equipment will gain strength as moisture is driven out.
ALL OUTSIDE RADAR EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY SPRAYED DOWN. USE MARINE PAL OR PAL METAL PRESERVATIVE. IT HELPS KEEP THE MECHANISMS FROM FREEZING, THIS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE IN ARCTIC CONDITIONS WITH ZERO VISIBILITY.
PROBLEM: Deck lighting fixture corrosion, especially mercury vapor and quartz lighting exposed to weather.
PROCEDURE: New or old fixtures should be sprayed with Marine PAL, allowed to set for an hour and then spray again with PAL Metal Preservative. Servicing the light fixtures from that point on becomes a piece of cake. You will add years to the life of those fixtures. TAKE CARE TO CLEAN EXCESS PAL FROM THE SOCKET TERMINALS AND DO NOT TOUCH THE BULBS WITH YOUR FINGERS OR APPLY ANY OIL PRODUCT ON THE BULBS!
PROBLEM: Transporting vehicles by sea on deck.
PROCEDURE: Spray down engine compartment with Marine PAL or PAL Metal Preservative, and all exterior wiring and connections, including lamp connectors. Disconnect negative side of the battery, spray down the battery also.
Use proper deck procedures when chaining the vehicle down, taking care not to pinch any brake lines or squeeze any wire bundles. Do not run chains to flimsy suspension parts.
Make sure all windows are rolled up and all doors are shut tight before tarping vehicle. Remember, decks often fill with sea water if bad weather is encountered.
The vehicles will move with the motion of the ship, just due to the suspension system. Keep other objects away from the expected motion areas to save the paint job. In the event the engine compartment does fill with sea water, be sure to pull plugs and clear the cylinders before firing the machine up, as well as checking the crankcase for sea water.
PROBLEM: Hydraulic plumbing deteriorating on deck equipment. Anchor gear rusting away.(Cable or chain)
PROCEDURE: Wait until plumbing in question is dry. Spray down with PAL Metal Preservative until pipe is well saturated, Clean off excess rust.
Mix Metal PAL Preservative with a product such as Wax oil, using 10% Pal H.D. as a thinner. Apply the mix. If you were using Wax oil before and know the results, prepare to be in for a pleasant surprise. The rust will not continue under the resulting surface protection.
PROBLEM: Wear and splintering cargo gear wire pendants and winch runner cables subject to both corrosion and abrasion under working load applications. (Cored or uncored wire)
PROCEDURE: New wire should be saturated by dipping or repeated application of Metal PAL Preservative spray. Spray down runners every trip. The runners do not have to be stripped off the windlasses to do this as long as the wire is saturated, but keep in mind properly spooled wire on winches lasts much longer.
For old wire, use the same procedure. Metal PAL Preservative and slushing greases are compatible. Double the life of your wire easily. Give Pal capability to your existing products by thoughtfully mixing to the consistency that is right for the application.
PROBLEM: A line shaft bearing is going out on a production line. You cannot stop production and there are no spare parts.
PROCEDURE: Squirt Machine Pal into bearing. Use Marine Pal if you do not have Machine Pal. Make sure the bearing does not go dry with repeated application. This should buy you time to think your way out of the situation. I personally have kept shafts rotating for days this way.
ELECTRICAL AND REFRIGERATION CONTROL PANELS.
Spray these units down with Marine PAL. Follow with Metal PAL Preservative in extremely severe areas after waiting a few minutes. Inside the cases just use Marine Pal. Wiring will not corrode and controller units will work smoother.
If this is a new system, spray the entire exterior system , including the piping with Metal PAL Preservative. You will be amazed at the difference in your system when you compare it to the other guyÍs, years down the road.
Two applications in a week should suffice, and this should be done over again upon inspection. Metal PAL Preservative is tough!
PROBLEM: Wear on Machine guns or machine gun mechanisms such as those found in high speed marine long line baiting equipment, sporting or military arms of all types.
PROCEDURE: Use Machine PAL! There is nothing else on the market that even comes close to our product for this purpose, except Reel Pal. For machine gun barrels use Slick PAL to extend barrel life.
For marine applications, Machine Pal should be your chosen oil even for the firearm on board ship, and for fishing reels, REEL PAL is what you want. If these products are not available, use Marine PAL. Reel PAL is slightly higher in viscosity and travels slower than Sports or Marine PAL.
Remember: Long line gear is nothing more than a machine gun attached to a fishing reel, so Ganion and Machine PAL were developed for these machines.
Hooks that are not baited catch no fish. I have achieved 94% baiting efficiency using Machine PAL as opposed to 70% on a Mustaad system. That translates to 240,000 more hooks baited in a million hook run. Use Ganion or Lure PAL to spray your hooks and rails down for smooth operation and protection. Ganion pal is a bait oil! It is a special oil designed to protect hooks and catch fish! Any over spray on the ganions will not hurt them! It is environmentally sound.
When you store your equipment for the season use PAL Metal Preservative on all surfaces.
Drain mechanisms and refill with Machine PAL. Upon seasonal start-up, clean off surfaces with Marine PAL for system reactivation. You will Notice at this time any aluminum pieces did not corrode if they were properly treated.
In a four month period you should have baited one million more hooks with one third the equipment wear normally encountered for less than $90 worth of PAL products. Use GANION PAL, and expect a larger catch. It pays its own way.
PROBLEM: Sticky bolt action rifles, ammunition clips, trigger mechanisms, fishing reels, bicycle mechanisms, reloading equipment, chains, metal zippers, compound bow pulleys, and Sports equipment corrosion.
PROCEDURE: Use Sports, Slick, Machine or Marine PAL to clean, clear and lubricate.
Others besides myself have gone solely to PAL products because of the amazing difference in performance and above all, protection. Marine PAL and Blade PAL an excellent honing oil for the cutlery man. There is really nothing to compare with it in the sporting area.
PAL PERFORMANCE IN THESE AREAS OF APPLICATION IS ASTOUNDING! ONE DROP OF REEL PAL EACH END BEARING OF A NEW CASTING REEL WILL AMAZE YOU! FIND OUT WHAT THE REEL MANUFACTURES ARE NOW LEARNING ABOUT OUT PAL PRODUCTS! ASK FOR LURE PAL SAVE YOUR HOOKS AND SPINNERS WHILE CATCHING MORE FISH!
EXAMPLES: Rifles and handguns:
Clean the mechanism, preferably with Marine PAL and lubricate with Sports, Machine, or in extremely cold temperatures, Marine PAL. When using the equipment again, use a drop or two in the oil passages and you ready to rock and roll.
Wipe your ammunition down with PAL products when storing for the year. This will eliminate case corrosion without using grease. Even if the ammunition is stored on a ship you will find it will be ready for use and feed smoothly when needed.
If the weapon is to be stored for years, use Slick PAL or Gun grease that has Sports, Marine or Machine PAL mixed with it. Clean the weapon of with Marine PAL
.
RELOADING EQUIPMENT: Lubricate all bench presses and dies with Machine PAL.
You will notice a shocking difference when you are resizing your cases, and your brass will last longer if it is wiped down before resizing. DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE THE CASES AS YOU WANT THE OIL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CASE, NOT INSIDE!
Find out what we have found out using Marine PAL instead of other brands, such as HoppeÍs, for cleaning our fire arms. Marine PAL does everything the other cleaners do plus it penetrates , lubricates and protects. It is safer and cheaper in the long run. When used in conjunction with Sports of Machine PAL, sporting and military arms work as smooth as glass, and just get smoother with each application. Rust and corrosion are eliminated, even at sea. Copper fouling is reduced also.
BLACK POWDER:
Clean it with Marine PAL! We also have black powder users in the company and have tried everything on the market available to us.
MARINE PAL ENDS BLACK POWDER PROBLEMS BY ELIMINATING THE ACIDS AND CARBON CREATED BY COMBUSTION! OIL THE WEAPON WITH SPORTS OR MACHINE PAL AFTER CLEANING AND SAVE THAT PRECIOUS PIECE OF HERITAGE! WATCH FOR POWDER PAL, OUR SUPER FORMULA!
FISHING REELS:
Fishing reels are like fire arms and get to be a real personal item to the owner. Reels treated with Reel PAL not only last longer and are smoother acting and farther casting, But allow the pole to transmit more information to the fisherman by way of the reel.
Teflon or heavy grease cuts this information to the fishermanÍs hand. Thin your greases with Marine or Reel PAL. Pal oils give more ñfeelingî and this means more fish.
FISHING LURES:
Lures are expensive, when they corrode, the catch goes down. Rusted hooks break or dull, and transmit iron oxide into the water, which the fish senses.
The answer to this problem is Lure PAL. Ecologically sound, it not only protects the lure for hours, but catches fish. IT ALSO ELIMINATED HUMAN ENZYMES WHEN TESTED AT THE INTERNATIONAL SPORTSMENS SHOW!
When the lures are stored, just re-coat with Lure PAL when you reactivate them.
STORAGE IN GENERAL:
In general, oxygen and moisture are just two of the culprits that cause corrosion. For example items which may be stored in a root cellar or underground have a limited amount of oxygen available and the moisture present will take on the characteristics of the soil it is near. Acid soil produces acid moisture, and so on. Remove or displace the oxygen and moisture, and corrosion slows down.
If I were to cache equipment as the old mountain men did, I would not use their technology today. They used bear grease and tallow for metal objects.
Instead one could thoroughly saturate the object with Marine PAL, let it set for 24 hours, then saturate it with PAL Metal Preservative. Reapply the Preservative again after 48 hours and let it set up for another 24 to 48 hours.
Now we have to wrap or package the item. Certain plastics, such as PVC or ABS pipe come in handy. The soil will not break these polymers down, and fairly good size diameters are available. Choose the right diameter and length, cap one end, and use a threaded pipe plug fitting at the other that has been Teflon taped.
Now for a moisture desiccant. See your commercial refrigeration people and use their crystals. They work...
If argon, helium or nitrogen are available as a gas, displace the oxygen in the tube with the gas and screw the plug in. If you did everything right, the container may be cached or stored anywhere except in high heat areas.
To clean the object for reuse spray down with Lugbuster or Marine PAL, let it set until the PAL Metal Preservative is soft. This process may be speeded up by mixing paint thinner with the above products. One last thing to think about. Never hide a needle in a hay stack. Metal detectors are very good this day and age, but lots of metal confuses the issue nicely..
If a military box or tube, such as those used for tank ammunition is used as a container, be sure to coat the outside with PAL Metal Preservative or epoxy. In acid soil or salt atmosphere, aluminum corrodes. Military boxes work very nicely for small emergency equipment.
Spray traps down with Ganion or Lure PAL. It removes the human odor and covers the smell of metal fairly well. These PAL products have fish oils in them. They are also highly protective.
BICYCLES AND MOTORCYCLES:
All chain and shift mechanisms should be lubricated with Machine PAL. If these items are rusted, use Marine PAL first, then follow with Sports or Machine PAL.
If you want the entire bike protected, spray the entire unit down with Marine PAL. This includes the electrical system. Wait 24 hours and rinse excess off with hot water. (note: Boiling water will not remove Marine or Machine PAL.) Knock off the excess water and wipe off painted and chromed areas with a rag. Lubricate the movable assemblies with Sports or Machine PAL. If you take your bike to sea, do this twice a year.
SNOWMOBILES:
FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES FOR MOTORCYCLES AND THE ENGINE STORAGE PROCEDURES MENTIONED ABOVE. SPEND A LITTLE AND SAVE A LOT!
For two cycle engines, use one ounce of Machine or Marine Pal in conjunction with your normal two stroke oil. This will help prevent piston seizing.
JET SKIS: Use all of the above procedures. For excessively long storage,(years) spray down after 24 hours with PAL Metal Preservative. Remember to drain the pump housing and saturate the impeller system with Marine Pal, this should always be done.
All of these suggestions are based upon many years experience in some of the most adverse circumstances anyone would care to encounter.
One of the worst things I have ever heard after inspecting a project that had been destroyed by carelessness was a small meek voice saying I should have followed the instructions..
We have excellent products but you have to do the thinking! Computers will have to travel an infinitely long road before they can replace man...
NOTE:
IF YOU HAD USED PAL PRODUCTS ONWARD FROM
THE TIME THE ABOVE ITEMS WERE NEW, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THE
ABOVE PROBLEMS.
Getting ready to close up your winter facilities to escape the desert heat? The equipment you leave behind in storage is going to suffer badly if you do not properly put it away. Gasoline left in tanks and fuel systems is going to evaporate and gum. Fuel injectors and carburetors are going to cease functioning properly. Batteries are going to deteriorate. Electrical connections are going to corrode, even in the desert country because of the salts carried in desert dust, salts which are activated continuously just because of the night time dew point. Cable controls on motorcycles and quad runners are going to stick. The pumps in your jet skis are going to freeze up just due to the salts in the Colorado River water or ground water from your wells. The cord in polyester tires will rot and the rubber will crack. Plastic trim pieces on trailers will literally be eaten off by the ultraviolet in the intense sun. This battle is our battle as well as yours, because we have homes in Arizona as well as all types of vehicles, and have been testing in the desert area for years.
TIPS:
Batteries: Small batteries
are best stored in an insulated refrigerator which also has an open
glass jug of water left inside. The only vehicle battery to own is a
deep cycle type used by sportsmen for trolling motors and I suggest
Delco. They survive when left in the vehicle compartment, as long as
the direct sun is not "cooking" the car or truck. If that be the
case, take the battery out and store it under the vehicle where the
air is the coolest. Coat the terminals with Metal PAL Preservative.
They will not corrode. This also should be done to your golf cart
batteries. Always use distilled water to top your batteries off,
insuring longevity.
Electrical Connections and fuse panels: Spray these connections down with Marine PAL. It is good enough for the Aegis Missile System so don't hesitate to use it for your equipment. Marine PAL has so many different built in uses you should always keep it on hand.
Control Cables: Machine PAL should be used as a lube for all control mechanisms. Work it down into the shielded control jackets for all your cables. Use it on your locks and sliding glass windows and doors. If it is supposed to move, Machine PAL it.
Fuel Systems: Add 1-2 ounces of Marine PAL per 5 gallons of gasoline or diesel. Run the equipment long enough to insure it travels throughout the fuel system. Even when the carbs go "dry", they will not lacquer up. When starting after storage, take off the air cleaner and drop an ounce of gas into the intake manifold to facilitate startup, saving the battery in case it is low. (I have never had this problem with Delco Deep Cycles and I am using mine for the fifth year now.)
Crankcase Lube Oil: Change the oil, oil filter, and Desert PAL it according to instructions. Machine PAL may be substituted in the case of real small engines, though Desert PAL was invented for the country. You will not have a dry start and it neutralizes crankcase acids. Machinery wear drops drastically with PAL.
Rubber and plastic: Armor All all rubber and plastic. It really makes a difference. Jack the vehicle off the tires, cover the rubber from the direct sun. Let some of the air out of the tires, reducing pressure to 20 PSI. It helps...
Jet Skies: Drain the pump unit and fill with inexpensive RV antifreeze. Treat the fuel system and crankcase using the same method mentioned above for small engines. Two stroke engines should make sure the gas mix had marine PAL added to it and the lower pumping unit should be flooded with RV antifreeze as most bottom unit failures occur due to impeller freezing in the pumping unit.
If you follow all the instructions above, you will be amazed at how much easier your life will become upon your return to the desert country. Those living on a fixed income will laugh all the way to the bank while fishing and rock picking because of using PAL, while the people in the next RV space are buying parts and spending a week just trying to be able to enjoy the wonderful desert country along the Colorado River and outlying areas. I know this because I live it, and so do all my neighbors in Bouse, AZ. They were convinced one by one, year by year.
