ing, or after operation.

such as “Air Filters”.

follow these instructions.
Not Fully Mission Capable If. This column tells you when and why your equipment cannot be
used.
NOTE
The terms “Ready/Available” and “Mission Capable” refer to the same status:
equipment is on hand and is able to perform its combat missions. (See DA
PAM 738-750).
Increa sed lnspections. Perform weekly as well as Before Operations PMCS if:
(1) You are the assigned operator and have not operated the item since the last weekly.
(2) You are operating the item for the first time.
Categories of leakage are classified as follows:
Class I: See page of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to
form drops.
Class II: Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not great enough to cause drops
to drip from the item being checked/inspected.
Class III: Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked/
inspected.
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakage (Class I or II). Of
course, you must consider the fluid capacity in the item being checked/in-
spected. When in doubt, notify your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or Class II leaks, continue to check fluid lev-
els as required in your PMCS.
