OPERATOR PMCS PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
General
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the collapsible fabric fuel
tank assembly in operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Be sure to
perform PMCS each time the tank assembly is serviced. Using the PMCS table, always do PMCS in the
same order, so it gets to be a habit. With practice, problems can be easily detected. Pay attention to
WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION means
equipment could be damaged.
Before using the tank assembly, do “Before” PMCS.
During use, do “During” PMCS.
After the tank assembly is used, do “After” PMCS.
Do “Semi-annual” PMCS once every six months.
If something is found to be wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if possible, using troubleshooting
procedures and/or maintenance procedures.
Use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to record any faults discovered
before, during, or after operation, unless the faults can be fixed. It is not required to record faults that you
can fix. For further information about how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
If tools required to perform PMCS are not listed in Table 2, WP 0036 00, the Maintenance Allocation
Chart, notify Unit Maintenance.
PMCS Procedures
Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 1, lists the inspections and care required to
keep the fuel tank assembly in good operating condition.
The “Interval” column of Table 1 tells you when to do a certain check or service.
The “Procedure” column of Table 1 tells you how to do the required checks and services. Carefully follow
these instructions. When the procedure tells you to, notify your supervisor.
The “Equipment Not Ready/Available If” column of Table 1 explains when and why your equipment
cannot be used.
