HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL (cont)
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), Including Lubrication Instructions Work Package
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) must be done to keep your carrier operating correctly. Do the PMCS
procedures both daily and weekly as required. There are four types of PMCS:
The BEFORE (B) PMCS must be done before you operate the carrier.
The DURING (D) PMCS must be done when you operate the carrier. Monitor the carrier systems as you perform your
mission. Perform DURING (D) PMCS on a system only when the system is required to complete your mission.
The AFTER (A) PMCS must be done after completing your mission.
The WEEKLY (W) PMCS must be done weekly.
The SEMI-ANNUAL (S) PMCS must be done every six months or every 1500 miles.
Notify unit maintenance if anything seems wrong with the carrier or its systems and you cannot fix it yourself. Loose bolts or
damaged welds are common things to watch for in every area. When checking hoses and fluid lines, look for wear, leaks,
loose clamps, and loose fittings.
The following sample shows you what to look for when you read a
PMCS procedure. For more information on PMCS, see (WP 0075 00).
