Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) - Explanation of Columns.
(1) Item NO. Column.
Checks and services are numbered in chronological order regardless of
interval. This column is used as a source of item number for the "TM Number" column on
DA Form 2404 in recording results of PMCS.
(2) Interval Column. This column tells you when and how often to do a certain check or service.
More than one interval may be placed in a column, which would mean you would do that
check or service at each of those intervals.
(3) Item to be Checked Column.
This column lists the common name of the item to be
inspected (such as "Base").
(4) Procedure Column. This column tells you how to do the required checks or services, and
what to do if the inspection fails.
(5) Equipment Not Ready/Available If Column.
This column tells you when and why your
equipment cannot be used.
d. If Your Equipment Fails Inspection.
(1) Criteria for Failure. Any stand that appears to be damaged in any way, is found to be worn,
or operates abnormally SHALL BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE.
No repairs to the stand
base, column, saddle, or pawl are authorized.
Signs of repair will be cause for immediate
rejection and disposal.
(2) Reporting.
Report any deficiencies using DA Form 2404 (or equivalent) and tag it with DA
Form 2402.
If the item is an Army item, also report failures on SF 368 (refer to AR 702-7
and DA PAM 750-8).
(3) Disposition. Those stands that fail inspection must be identified, segregated from other
stands, and be disabled to preclude usage.
The defective stands will be disposed of in a
timely manner in accordance with local disposal policies.
Replacement stands can be
ordered through appropriate supply channels.
