OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
PMCS INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
PMCS is required to keep the equipment in good operating condition. Operator level PMCS is performed before
and after operation to ensure the equipment is fully operational and ready at all times. Failure to perform PMCS
as required may result in major damage or a failure which could compromise the mission or cause injury to
personnel. Operators will perform PMCS as follows:
Ensure PMCS is performed each time the M915A1 equipped with ABS is operated.
When the equipment is operated for the first time or has not been operated for a three month period, notify
Field Maintenance to perform PMCS inspection.
When the equipment has been operated for one month or 83 hours of operation (whichever comes first)
notify Field Maintenance to perform PMCS inspection.
Observe all warnings, cautions, and notes when performing PMCS.
Always perform PMCS in the same order as written. With practice, this will enable operators to become
familiar with the equipment and enable them to quickly spot anything wrong with the equipment.
Before operating of the M915A1 equipped with ABS, perform all "Before" PMCS steps.
During operation of the M915A1 equipped with ABS, perform all "During" PMCS steps.
After operating the M915A1 equipped with ABS, perform all "After" PMCS steps.
At any PMCS interval, if the item to be checked or serviced is found to be not ready or available, that
problem must be corrected by troubleshooting and, if necessary, notify Field Maintenance to perform the
task.
Ensure operator PMCS for the M915A1 equipped with ABS is performed each time the equipment is
operated.
Whenever the equipment is found to be not ready or available and the problem cannot be resolved at the
operator level, describe what is wrong with the equipment using DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E. This
will document the problem and help unit maintenance locate and correct it. For information on how to use
this form, see DA PAM 750-8.
PURPOSE OF PMCS TABLE
The purpose of the PMCS table is to provide a systematic method of inspection and servicing of the equipment.
In this way, small defects can be detected early and corrected before they become a major problem causing the
equipment to fail. The PMCS table is arranged with the individual PMCS procedures listed in sequence under
assigned intervals. The most logical time (before, during, and after operation) to perform each procedure
determines the interval to which it is assigned. Make a habit of performing the checks in the same order each
time; anything wrong will be seen quickly. Refer to WP 0012 for Operator PMCS.
