OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION - OPERATOR'S PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
PMCS INTRODUCTION
This section contains Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) requirements
for PLST M1076 A1. The PMCS tables contain checks and services necessary to ensure
that the trailer 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 trailer; they are reports to field level
maintenance and to your Commander; and they serve as a checklist to find out what is
wrong with the trailer 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
0057).
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES
•
Do the before (B) PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE just before operating trailer. Pay
attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.
•
Do the during (D) PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE while trailer and/or its component
systems are in operation. Pay attention to the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS.

•
If something does not work, troubleshoot and notify the supervisor.
•
Always do PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE in the same order until it gets to be a
habit. Once practiced, problems can be spotted in a hurry.
•
If something looks wrong and cannot be fixed right then, write it on DA Form
2404 (WP
0057) or DA Form 5988-E (WP
0057). If something seems seriously
wrong, report it to field maintenance RIGHT AWAY.
•
When doing PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, take along the tools needed and a rag
or two to make all the checks.
