Dear Editor,
When I was assigned an M 151 A 1
'-ton truck for my job, I didn±t realze
I was getting the motor pooL "²emon³
untiL I tried to start it. No go´
I got a buddy to tow me to the mainµ
tenance bay with his 5-ton tractor
truck, and then we spent a week¶and·
a¸ha/ getting that '¹tonner into run·
ning shapeº
»verything wrong with it pointed to
a Lack of operator maintenance by the
Last driver´
This got me to wonderingº I started
at one end of the group and worked
my way to the other, taLking to me·
chanics, motor sergeants and driveRsº
What I fOund was an eye opener!
The guys are quick to bLame FuLty
equipment for their probLemsº If onLy
they wouLd recognize the human fac·
tor behin¼ most of their equipment
faiLures½their own negLect of opµ
erator PM!
There¾s a Lot ¿f taLk about operator
PM an¼ a Lot of infOrmation publshed
on it, but getting peopLe to do their
PM is something eLseº Those mechan·
ics and motor sergeantsÀand even
operatorsÀwho Áre reaÂy interested
feeL that there±s a need for morÃ
motivation, up to DA LeveL, conceÄ·
ing this probLem.
