SECTION II. Preventive Maintenance Checks And Services (PMCS)
2-5.
GENERAL.
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) mean systematic caring, inspecting, and servicing of
equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. As the 4KRTFL operator, your mission is to:
a.
Perform your PMCS each time you operate the 4KRTFL. Always do your PMCS in the same order, so it gets to
be a habit. Once you’ve had some practice, you’ll quickly spot anything wrong.
b.
Do your "Before" PMCS just before you operate the truck. Pay attention to WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and
NOTEs.
c.
Do your "During" PMCS while you operate the 4KTRFL. During operation means to monitor the 4KRTFL and its
related components while it is actually being operated. Pay attention to WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs.
d.
Do your "After" PMCS right after operating the 4KRTFL. Pay attention to WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs.
e.
Do your "Weekly" PMCS once a week.
f.
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.
g.
Be prepared to assist Organizational Maintenance when they lubricate the 4KRTFL. Perform any other services
when required by Organizational Maintenance.
2-6.
PMCS PROCEDURES.
a.
Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), Table 2-1, lists the inspections and care of your
equipment required to keep it in good operating condition.
b.
The Item Number column of your PMCS is the source for the number used on the TM Number Column on DA
Form 2404.
c.
The Interval column of your PMCS table tells you when to do a certain check or service.
d.
Location, Item to Check/Service column: This column tells you the location and the item to be checked or
serviced. The item location is underlined.
e.
The Procedure column of your PMCS table 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 Organizational Maintenance do
the work.
NOTE
Terms "ready/available" and "mission capable" refer to same status: Equipment is on hand and ready to
perform its combat missions. (See DA Pam 738-750).
f.
"Not Fully Mission Capable Ifr column: This column tells you when and why your equipment cannot be used.
g.
If the 4KRTFL does not perform as required, refer to Chapter 3, Section II, Troubleshooting.
h.
If anything looks wrong and you can’t fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404. IMMEDIATELY report it to your
supervisor.
