that the defects may be discovered and corrected before the result is serious damage or failure. Defects

discovered during operation of the unit shall be noted for future corrections to be made as soon as an

operation has ceased. Stop operation which would damage the equipment if operation were to continue. All

deficiencies and shortcomings shall be recorded together with the corrective action taken on DA Form 2404

"Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet", at the earliest opportunity. If your equipment fails

to operate, troubleshoot with proper equipment. Report any deficiencies using proper forms. See TM 38-750.
