GENERAL
To make sure that your vehicle is ready for operation at all times, inspect it systematically so you can
discover any defects and have them corrected before they result in serious damage or failure. The
charts on the next few pages contain your organizational PMCS. The item numbers indicate the
sequence of minimum inspection requirements. If you're operating the vehicle and notice
something wrong that could damage the equipment if you continue operation, stop operation
immediately.
Record all deficiencies and shortcomings, along with the corrective action taken, on DA Form 2404.
a. Do your(Q) PMCS once each 3 months.
b. Do your(S) PMCS once each 6 months.
If something doesn't work, troubleshoot it with the instructions in this manual
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.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it down on your DA Form 2404 and report it to your
supervisor.
