PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS) INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS) are performed to keep the ADR-300 and its

associated equipment in good operating condition. The checks are used to find and correct or report

problems. Operator personnel complete the PMCS jobs as shown in the PMCS table.

Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt. A

CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.

The table defines the service interval for completing each service task, the item or component to be

checked, the procedure to be followed in performing the check, and the condition that defines the

readiness of the item checked. Service intervals are defined as:

Before you begin using the ADR-300, Complete the Before PMCS.

During the use of the ADR, complete the During PMCS.

After using the ADR, complete the After PMCS.

Once weekly if the ADR has been used, complete the Weekly PMCS.

Once monthly if the ADR has been used, complete the Monthly PMCS.

The right hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the ADR-300 not fully mission-ready.

If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it using the troubleshooting and/or appropriate

maintenance procedure. Write up the problems that can not be repaired on DA Form 2404 for unit

maintenance. For further information on how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.

If any PMCS task requires tools that are not listed in the procedures, notify your supervisor.

Inspection

Look for signs of trouble. Senses help here. You can feel, smell, hear or see many problems that can be

eliminated before they get worse. Inspect to see if items are in good condition. Are components correctly

installed and secure? Is any damage to the frame or components visible? Correct all faults or notify unit

maintenance.

Lubrication

The door hinges and latch of the insulated container (IC) should be lubricated as required for smooth

operation. Apply light oil lubricant to the door hinges and latch. Open and close the door several times

and remove excess lubricant from the hinges and latch with a clean, dry cloth.
