GENERAL
The trailer must be inspected systematically to ensure that it is ready for operation at all times.
Inspection will allow defects to be discovered and corrected before they result in serious damage or
failure. The PMCS chart contains a tabulated list of preventive maintenance checks and services. All
deficiencies and corrective actions taken will be recorded on DA Form 2404.
Do your(S) PMCS once each 6 months.
Do your(A) PMCS once each year.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it down on your DA Form 2404. If you find something
seriously wrong, report it to direct support maintenance as soon as possible and notify your
supervisor.
If something doesn't work, troubleshoot it with the instructions in this manual or notify your supervisor.
Always do your preventive maintenance in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had
practice, you will spot something wrong immediately.
When you do your preventive maintenance, take along the tools that you need to make all the checks.
You always need a rag or two.
WARNING
Drycleaning solvent PD-680 is both toxic and flammable. Avoid prolonged breathing of
vapors and avoid skin contact. Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. Flash-
point of solvent is 138F (59C). Serious illness, injury, or loss of life could result from
improper use.
NOTE
When you are doing any PMCS or routine checks, keep in mind the warnings and
cautions.
Routine checks, like the following, are not listed in the PMCS checks. They are things that you should
do any time you see they must be done. If you find a routine check in your PMCS, it is because other
operators reported problems with this item.
