inspected on a regular basis so that defects may be found before they result in serious damage, equip-

ment failure, or injury to personnel. This section contains systematic instructions on inspections, adjust-

ments, and corrections to be performed by the operator/crew.

While performing preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS), read and follow all safety instruc-

tions found in the warning summary at the beginning of this manual. Keep in mind all WARNINGs and

CAUTIONs.

Perform the PMCS procedures listed in Table 2-1 at the following intervals:

Perform Before PMCS just before operating the trailer.

Perform During PMCS while operating the trailer.

Perform Weekly PMCS once each week.

Perform Monthly PMCS once each month.

REPORTING REPAIRS.

All defects that the operator cannot fix must be reported on a DA Form 2404, Equipment Inspection and Mainte-

nance Worksheet, immediately after completing PMCS. If a serious problem is found, IMMEDIATELY report it to

your supervisor.
