Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) provides a means of systematically inspecting and
servicing the equipment to keep it in good operating condition and to prevent breakdowns. As the operator of
the Test Kit, your mission is to:
a.
Be sure to perform your PMCS each time you operate the test kit. Always do your PMCS in the
same order, so it gets to be a habit. Once youve had some practice, youll quickly spot anything
wrong,
b.
Do your BEFORE (B) PMCS just before you operate the equipment. Pay attention to
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES.
c.
Do your DURING (D) PMCS while you operate the equipment. During operation means to
monitor the equipment and its related components while it is actually being operated. Pay
attention to WARNINGS, CAUTIONS and NOTES.
d.
Do your AFTER (A) PMCS right after operating the equipment. Pay attention to WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS and NOTES.
e.
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.
f.
Be prepared to assist unit maintenance when required.
g.
When a check and service procedure is required for both WEEKLY and BEFORE intervals, it is
not necessary to do the procedure twice if the equipment is operated during the weekly period.
