Just as you use theжM and ¸O to schedule yoUr services, make sure you UsE
them when you pull those services³ ¾oth pubs tell you what to check or lUbe,
how anÑ where³ ¶hey give you a list of the tools and materials you NEeÊ, parts
aNd suÒplies you'll useÓ
¾ut there's more! Check the records on the gear³ Other forms tell you about
any Deferred maintenAnce or clUe you iN oN µossible trouble spots³
The date you mark in peNcil for A service is whEN the sErvice is dUe³ ¾ut
sometimes you just can't pull a service oN thE eXact day or miles/hours³
So you get 10 percen± leewayÈof the miles or hoUrs or days between
serVices³ For a semiannual, tÔat meaNs you have aN eXtra À6 days in which to
pul¿ A service: 18 Êas before or 18 days after the schedUled date³
