GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES
00015
1.
Always perform PMCS in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you have had some practice, you’ll spot
anything wrong in a hurry. If the equipment does not perform as required, refer to the appropriate
troubleshooting procedure in Chapter 4.
2.
If anything looks wrong and you cannot fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E. If you find something
seriously wrong, IMMEDIATELY report it to your supervisor.
3.
Before performing preventive maintenance, read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare all that is
needed to make all the checks. You will always need a rag (Item 13, WP 0085) or two.
WARNING
Solvent cleaning compound MIL-PRF-680 Type III is an environmentally compliant and low toxic
material. However, it may be irritating to the eyes and skin. Use protective gloves and goggles. Use
in well-ventilated areas. Keep away from open flames and other sources of ignition. Failure to do
so may result in injury or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Do not use high-pressure water or steam to clean semitrailer. Use only low-pressure water and
bristled brushes. Be especially careful when cleaning electrical system components including
lighting. Damage or impaired operation could result if this caution is not observed.
a.
Keep Equipment Clean.
Dirt, grease, oil, and debris get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as
you work and as needed. Use solvent, cleaning compound (Item 3, WP 0085) on all metal surfaces. Use detergent
(Item 5, WP 0085) and water when you clean rubber, plastic, and painted surfaces. Spot paint as required to
prevent corrosion.
b.
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws.
Ensure that they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Report loose, missing, or damaged
bolts, nuts, and screws to your supervisor.
c.
Welds.
Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad welds to
your supervisor.
d.
Electrical Wires and Connectors.
Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or broken
connectors. Report loose connections and faulty wiring to your supervisor.
e.
Hoses, Lines, and Fittings.
Look for wear and damage. Check for loose clamps and fittings. Report any worn,
damaged, or loose hoses, lines, and fittings to your supervisor.
