SECTION II. OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
2.3 INTRODUCTION.
a.
General. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) means systematic caring, inspecting, and
servicing of equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. As the operator of the Pumping
Assembly, your mission is to:
(1)
Be sure to perform your PMCS each time you operate your pumping assembly. Always do your PMCS in
the same order, so it gets to be a habit. Once you’ve had some practice, you’ll quickly spot anything wrong.
(2)
Do your BEFORE (B) PMCS just before you operate the pumping assembly. Pay special attention to all
WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs.
(3)
Do your DURING (D) PMCS while you are operating the pumping assembly. During operations means to
monitor the pumping assembly and its related components while it is actually being operated. Pay special
attention to all WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs.
(4)
Do your AFTER (A) PMCS right after you have operated the pumping assembly. Pay special attention to all
WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs.
(5)
Do your WEEKLY PMCS once a week.
(6)
Do your MONTHLY PMCS once a month.
(7)
Use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to record any faults that you
discover before, during, or after operation unless you can fix them. You do not need to record faults that
you can fix.
(8)
Be prepared to assist unit maintenance in any lubrication procedures. Perform any other services when
required by unit maintenance.
b.
PMCS Procedures.
(1)
Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 2-1, lists inspections and care to keep your
pumping assembly in good operating condition. It is set up so you can make your BEFORE (B) Operation
checks as you perform a general examination of the pumping assembly.
(2)
The "INTERVAL" column of Table 2-1 tells you when to do a certain check or service.
(3)
The "PROCEDURE", column of Table 2-1 tells you how to do required checks and services. Carefully follow
these instructions. If you do not have tools or if the procedure tells you to, notify you supervisor.
NOTE
Terms "ready/available" and "mission capable" refer to the same status: Equipment is on hand
and ready to perform combat missions. (See DA PAM 738-750.)
(4)
The "NOT FULLY MISSION CAPABLE IF:" column in Table 2-1 tells you when your pumping assembly is
not capable and why the pumping assembly cannot be used.
(5)
If the pumping assembly does not perform as required, refer to Chapter 3, Section II, Operator
Troubleshooting.
(6)
If anything looks wrong and you can’t fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 IMMEDIATELY and report it to
your supervisor.
