B-2. MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS. Maintenance functions are defined as follows:

Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical and/or electrical

Test. To verify serviceability and detect incipient failure by measuring the mechanical or electrical

characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards.

Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition, i.e., to clean, to

preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or compressed air supplies.

Adjust. To maintain, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the

operating characteristics to specified parameters.

Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made, or to be adjusted on instruments for test,

measuring and diagnostic equipments used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one
