2-12. PMCS PROCEDURES-cont.
e.
The "NOT FULLY MISSION CAPABLE IF " column in Table 2-1 tells you when your equipment is not
mission capable and why the system cannot be used.
f.
If the equipment does not perform as required, refer to Chapter 3, Section II, Troubleshooting.
g.
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 IMMEDIATELY, report it to
your supervisor.
h.
The following are checks that are common to the entire fuel system:
(1) Keep the equipment clean. Remove dirt, sand and debris from quick disconnect couplings, hose
ends, gate valves and distribution nozzles to prevent excessive wear and contamination of the fuel
system. Use cleaning solvent to remove dirt.
(2) Bolts, nuts and screws. Check them for obvious looseness, missing, bent or broken condition on
gate valves. If you find a bolt, nut or screw you think Is loose, report it to your supervisor.
(3) Hoses. Look for wear, damage and leaks. Make sure clamps and quick disconnect couplings are
tight. Wet spots show leaks, but a stain around a fitting or connector can also mean a leak. If a leak
comes from a loose fitting or coupling, tighten. It If something is broken or worn out, report it to your
supervisor.
i. When you check for "operating condition", look at the component to see if It's serviceable.
2-13. LEAKAGE CRITERIA
