2-11.
GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES (continued).
a.
Keep equipment clean. Dirt, oil, and debris may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you work and as needed.
Use drycleaning solvent (Item 12, Appendix C) on all metal surfaces. Use solution of soap and water on rubber,
plastic, and painted surfaces.
b.
While performing PMCS, inspect the following components:
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws: Make sure they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Tighten any that are loose.
Welds: Inspect for gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad welds to your supervisor.
Electrical Wires or Connectors: Inspect for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken
connectors. Make repairs or replace as required.
Hoses, Lines, and Fittings: Inspect for wear, damage, and leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. If
leak originates from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If not authorized, report it to your supervisor.
2-12.
SPECIFIC PMCS PROCEDURES.
a.
Unit PMCS procedures are listed In Table 2-1. Always perform PMCS procedures in the order listed. Once
PMCS becomes a habit, anything that is not right can be spotted in a minute. If anything wrong is discovered
through PMCS, perform the appropriate troubleshooting task (Section IV of this chapter). If any component or
system is not serviceable, or if the service given does not correct the problem, notify your supervisor.
b.
Before performing PMCS, read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare the tools needed to
make all the checks. Have several clean rags (tern 25, Appendix C) handy. Perform ALL inspections at the
applicable intervals.
c.
Explanation of the columns in Table 2-1 are as follows:
Item No: The item number column of your PMCS table is to be used for reference. When completing DA
Form 2404, include the item number for the check/service indicating a fault. Item numbers also appear in the
order that you must do checks and services for the intervals listed.
Interval: This column tells you when to do a certain check or service. Special intervals will also be specified
(e.g., every 100 hours) when the component requires service more frequently than semiannually or annually.
Item To Check/Service: This column names the item to be checked or to be serviced.
Procedure: This column tells you how to do the required checks and services. Carefully follow these
instructions. If you do not have the tools, or if the procedure tells you to, have Unit maintenance do the work.
Not Fully Mission Capable If: Information in this column tells you what faults will keep the equipment from
being capable of performing its mission. If PMCS reveals any of the faults listed in this column, do not operate
the equipment. Follow standard procedures for maintaining the equipment or reporting equipment failure.
