To make sure that your vehicle is ready for operation at all
times, inspect it systematically so you can discover any defects and have them
corrected before they result in serious damage or failure.
The table on the

sequence of minimum inspection requirements.
If you are operating the vehicle
and notice something wrong which could damage the equipment if you
continue
operation, stop operation immediately.
Record all deficiencies and shortcomings, along with the corrective action
taken, on DA Form 2404.
