SECTION II. OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
2.3. 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 unit, your mission is to:
a.
Be sure to perform your PMCS each time you operate your pump 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.
b.
Do your BEFORE (B) PMCS just before you operate the pump assembly. Pay special attention
to all WARNIN1GS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
c.
Do your DURING (D) PMCS while you are operating the pump assembly. During operations
means to monitor the pump assembly and its related components while it is actually being
operated. Pay special attention all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
d.
Do your AFTER (A) PMCS right after you have operated the pump assembly. Pay special
attention to all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
e.
Do your WEEKLY PMCS once a week.
f.
Do you MONTHLY PMCS once a month.
g.
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 fix.
h.
Be prepared to assist unit maintenance in any lubrication procedures. Perform any other
services when required by unit maintenance.
2.4. PMCS PROCEDURES.
a.
Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 2-1, lists inspections and care to keep
your pump 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 pump assembly.
b.
The "INTERVAL" column of Table 2-1 tells you when to do a certain check or service.
c.
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
your 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.)
d.
The "NOT FULLY MISSION CAPABLE IF:" column in Table 2-1 tells you when your pump
assembly is not capable and why the pump assembly cannot be used.
