GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES (CONTINUED).

Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Make sure they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Tighten any that are loose.

Welds. Inspect for gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad welds to your supervisor.

Wiring Harnesses, Wires, and Connectors. Inspect for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or

broken connectors. Repair or replace as necessary.

Hydraulic Brake Lines and Fittings. Inspect for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure fittings are tight. If a leak

originates from a loose fitting, tighten it. If a component is broken or worn, correct the problem if authorized by the

Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) (Appendix B). If not authorized, report it to your supervisor.

SPECIFIC PMCS PROCEDURES.

Unit PMCS procedures are provided in Table 4-1. Always perform PMCS in the order listed. Once PMCS

becomes a routine, problems can be spotted quickly. If anything wrong is discovered through PMCS, per-

form the appropriate troubleshooting task listed in Section IV of this chapter. If any component or system is

not serviceable or if the service given does not correct the problem, notify your supervisor.

The PMCS procedures listed in Table 4-1 are to be performed at two intervals: semiannual and annual.

Before performing PMCS, read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare the tools

needed to make all checks. Have several clean rags (Item 13, Appendix F) handy. Perform ALL inspec-

tions at the applicable interval.

Explanations of the column headings in Table 4-1 are as follows:

Item No. The Item number column of the PMCS table is used for reference. When completing DA Form 2404,

include the item number for the check/service indicating a fault. Item numbers also appear in the order that you

must do checks and services for the intervals listed.

Interval This column tells you when to do a specific check or service.

Item To Check/Service This column names the item to be checked or serviced.

Procedure This column tells you how to do the required checks and services. Carefully follow these instructions. If

you do not have the tools, or if the procedure tells you to, have Unit maintenance do the work.

Not Fully Mission Capable If: Information in this column tells you what faults will keep the equipment from being

capable of performing its mission. If PMCS reveals faults listed in this column, do not operate the equipment. Fol-

low standard operating procedures for maintaining the equipment or reporting equipment failures.
