PMCS PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
General
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the collapsible fabric
petroleum tank assembly in operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct or report problems.
Be sure to perform your PMCS each time you service the tank assembly. Using the PMCS table, always
do PMCS in the same order, so it gets to be a habit. With practice, you'll quickly spot anything wrong.
Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt. A
CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.
Before you use the tank assembly, do Before PMCS.
During use, do During PMCS.
After the tank assembly is used, do After PMCS.
Do weekly PMCS once a week.
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if you can, using troubleshooting procedures
and/or maintenance procedures.
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. For further information on how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
If tools required to perform PMCS are not listed in this manual, notify unit maintenance.
PMCS Procedures
Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 1, lists the inspections and care required to
keep the petroleum tank assembly in good operating order.
The Interval column of Table 1 tells you when to do a certain check or service.
NOTE
When a check and service procedure is required for both weekly and before intervals, it is
not necessary to perform the weekly procedure during the same week in which the before
procedure was done.
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.
"Equipment Not Ready/Available If" column tells you when and why your equipment cannot be used.
NOTE
If the equipment must be kept in continuous operation, do only the procedures that can
be done without disturbing operation. Make complete checks and services when the
equipment is shut down.
