GENERAL

In addition to performing normal Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) (WP 0048), clean and

lubricate equipment more often to compensate for extremes of temperature, humidity, and terrain conditions

that are present or expected. Cleaned and lubricated equipment ensures proper operation and guards against

excessive wear and failure.

When equipment constantly breaks down due to operating under extreme conditions, report failure(s) using

DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet).
