GENERAL
Every mission begins and ends with the paperwork. There isn't much of it, but you have to keep it up.
The forms and records you fill out have several uses. They are a permanent record of the services,
repairs, and modifications made on your vehicle. They are reports to organizational maintenance and
to your commander. And they are a checklist for you when you want to know what is wrong with the
vehicle after its last use, and whether those faults have been fixed, For the information you need on
forms and records, see DA PAM-738-750.
Do your before (B) PMCS just before You operate the vehicle. Pay attention to the CAUTIONS and
WARNINGS.
Do your during (D) PMCS during operation. During operation means to monitor the vehicles and its
related components while they are actually being operated.
Do your after (A) PMCS right after operating the vehicle. Pay attention to the CAUTIONS and
WARNINGS.
Do your weekly (W) PMCS weekly.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If something doesn't work, troubleshoot it with the instructions in this manual and notify your
supervisor.
Always do your PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had
some practice, you'll spot anything wrong in a hurry.
When you do your PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE, take along a rag or two.
While performing PMCS observe caution, notes and warning paragraphs preceding those operations
that could endanger safety or result in damage to the equipment.
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404. The number column is the
source for the numbers used on the TM Number Column on DA Form 2404. If you find something
seriously wrong, report it to Organizational Maintenance RIGHT AWAY.
