2-4.
PMCS TABLE COLUMNAR HEADINGS - continued.
NOTE
Terms "ready/available" and "mission capable" refer to same status: Equipment is
on hand and ready to perform its combat missions. (See DA Pam 738-750).
d.
The "EQUIPMENT IS NOT READY/AVAILABLE IF:" column in Table 2-1 tells you when your equipment is
nonmission capable and why the equipment cannot be used.
e.
If the equipment does not perform as required, refer to Chapter 3, Section II, Troubleshooting.
f.
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404. IMMEDIATELY, report it to your
supervisor.
g.
When you do your PMCS, you will always need a rag or two. Following are checks that are common to the
entire nozzle:
(1)
Keep It Clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem.
Clean as you work and as needed. Use dry cleaning solvent (AA-711) on all metal surfaces. Use soap
and water when you clean rubber or plastic material.
(2)
Rust and Corrosion. Check equipment for rust and corrosion. If any bare metal or corrosion exists,
clean, and apply a thin coat of oil. Report it to your supervisor.
(3)
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check them all for obvious looseness, missing, bent, or broken condition.
You can't try them all with a tool, but look for chipped paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. If
you find a bolt, nut or screw you think is loose, tighten it or report it to your supervisor.
(4)
Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you find a
bad weld, report it to your supervisor.
(5)
Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked, frayed, or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or
broken connectors. Tighten loose connectors. Report any damaged wires to your supervisor.
(6)
Hoses and Fluid Lines. Look for wear, damage, and leaks, and make sure clamps and fittings 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 connector, tighten it. If something is broken or worn out, report it to your
supervisor.
h.
When you check for "operating condition", you look at the component to see if it's serviceable.
