SECTION IV - CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
6-4 Corrective Maintenance Practices
Corrective maintenance is that work required to correct the faults found in the preventative maintenance program, other
inspections, and that result from equipment failure. The corrective action may be replacement or it may be repair. This
manual includes corrective maintenance work, as recommended by WBEI or by the manufacturer, up through the level
of work that the direct support maintenance serving the facility could reasonably provide. The U.S. Army may choose to
do certain work at a higher support level at their option. This manual does not cover corrective maintenance on
Government furnished equipment except for the contribution of certain recommendations where believed appropriate.
The reader will be referred to the specially published technical manuals for this Government furnished equipment.
