CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)—Continued
GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES—Continued
Keep equipment clean. Dirt, oil, and debris may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you work and as
needed. Use cleaning solvent on all metal surfaces. Use soap and water on rubber, plastic, and painted
surfaces.
While performing specific PMCS procedures, inspect the following components:
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Ensure that they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Tighten any that
are loose.
Welds. Inspect for gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad welds to your supervisor.
Electrical Conduit, Wires, and Connectors. Inspect for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires,
and loose or broken connectors. Make repairs or replace as required.
Hose, Lines, and Fittings. Inspect for wear, damage, and leaks. Ensure that clamps and fittings are
tight. If a leak originates from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If a component is broken or worn,
correct the problem if authorized by the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) (WP 0058 00). If not
authorized, report it to your supervisor.
SPECIFIC PMCS PROCEDURES
Organizational PMCS is provided in Table 1. Always perform PMCS in the order listed. Once it becomes a
habit, anything that is not right can be spotted in a minute. If anything wrong is discovered through PMCS,
perform the appropriate troubleshooting task in WP 0015 00 or 0016 00. If any component or system is
not serviceable, or if a given service does not correct the problem, notify your supervisor.
The PMCS procedures listed in Table 1 are to be performed at two intervals. Before performing PCMS,
read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare the tools needed to make all checks.
Have several clean rags handy. Perform ALL inspections at the applicable intervals.
The column headings in Table 1 are defined as follows:
Item No. The item number column of the PMCS table is to be used for reference. When completing DA
Form 2404, include the item number for the check/service indicating a fault. Item numbers also appear in
the order that you must do checks and services for the intervals listed.
Interval. Specifies the interval at which PMCS is to be performed.
Item To Be Inspected. This column tells you what item is to be inspected and how to do the required
checks and services. Carefully follow these instructions. If you do not have the tools, or if the procedure
tells you to, have Direct Support maintenance do the work.
Procedure. Provides the procedure that must be performed to check or service the item.
