FIELD MAINTENANCE
PMCS INTRODUCTION
GENERAL INFORMATION
To maintain vehicles covered by this TM, inspect them on a regular basis to ensure that minor faults are
discovered and corrected before they result in serious injury to personnel or damage or failure to equipment. All
intervals are based on normal operation. Hard time intervals may be shortened if your lubricants are
contaminated or if you are operating the equipment under adverse conditions, including longer-than-usual
operating hours. Hard time intervals may be extended during periods of low activity, though adequate
preservation precautions must still be observed. This work package contains instructions of items to be checked
or serviced by identifying inspections, adjustments, lubrication, and corrections to be performed on vehicle
components to avoid costly repairs or major breakdowns.
The preventive maintenance for which you are responsible is located in WP 0016. The checks and services listed
include those in TM 9-2320-283-20 and those pertaining to the ABS. When performing maintenance on a
system, consult the PMCS table after completing a procedure, perform the final inspection, and functional tests
necessary to return the vehicle to a serviceable state. All problems detected during PMCS must be resolved
before the vehicle can return to service.
INTERVALS
Field maintenance, assisted by operator/crew, will perform checks and services contained in the PMCS table.
Refer to WP 0016 at the following intervals:
1.
Monthly (M)
: Every month.
2.
Quarterly (Q)
: Every 3 months or 5,000 km (3,107 mi), whichever occurs first.
3.
Semi-Annually (S)
: Every 6 months or 10,000 km (6,214 mi), whichever occurs first.
4.
Annually (A)
: Every 12 months or 20,000 km (12,427 mi), whichever occurs first.
5.
Biennially (B)
: Every 24 months or 40,000 km (24,854 mi), whichever occurs first.
REPORTING REPAIRS
All vehicle shortcomings will be reported on DA Form 2404 Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet
or DA Form 5988-E (automated) (DA PAM 750-8) immediately after the PMCS is performed and before
performing corrective actions. All vehicle deficiencies will be reported in the equipment record.
CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (CPC)
CPC of Army materiel is a continuing concern. It is important that any corrosion problems with this item be
reported to ensure that the problem can be corrected and improvements can be made to prevent the problem in
future items. While corrosion is typically associated with rusting of metals, it can also include deterioration of
other materials, such as rubber and plastic. Unusual cracking, softening, swelling, or breaking of these materials
may be a corrosion problem. If a corrosion problem is identified, it can be reported using SF 368 Product
Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR). Use key words, such as corrosion, rust, deterioration, or cracking to ensure
that the information is identified as a CPC problem. The PQDR must be submitted to the address specified in
DA Pam 750-8, The Army Maintenance Management System (TAMMS) Users Manual.
