OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION - PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
PMCS INTRODUCTION
This section contains PMCS requirements for HEMTT series vehicles. The PMCS tables
contain checks and services necessary to ensure that the vehicle is ready for operation.
Using PMCS tables, perform maintenance at specified intervals.
MAINTENANCE FORMS AND RECORDS
Every mission begins and ends with paperwork. There is not much of it, but it must be kept
up. The filled out forms and records have several uses. They are a permanent record of
services, repairs, and modifications made on the vehicle; they are reports to unit
maintenance and to your Commander; and they serve as a checklist to find out what is
wrong with the vehicle after its last use, and whether those faults have been fixed. For the
information needed on forms and records, refer to DA PAM 750-8. (WP 0164)
