INTRODUCTION.
General.
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the Refrigerated Container System in operating
condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Crewmembers are to do the PMCS jobs as shown in the
PMCS table. PMCS are done every day the Refrigerated Container System is operated, using the PMCS table. Pay attention
to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING statement means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION statement
means equipment could be damaged.
Before you begin operating vehicle equipment, do Before PMCS.
During operation, do During PMCS.
After operation, do After PMCS.
Once a week, do Weekly PMCS. If the Refrigerated Container System has not been operated in a week, also do Before
PMCS at the same time.
Do Monthly PMCS once a month. If the Refrigerated Container System has not been operated in a month, also do After
PMCS at the same time. PCMS should be done after a minimum amount of hours specified per Table 1 (WP 0015 00).
If you are operating the Refrigerated Container System for the first time, do your Weekly and Monthly PMCS the first time
you do your Before PMCS.
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if you can, using troubleshooting procedures and/or maintenance
procedures.
The right-hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the Refrigerated Container System not fully mission
capable. Write up items not fixed on DA Form 2404 for Unit Maintenance. For further information on how to use this form,
see DA PAM 738-750.
If tools are required for performing PMCS that are not listed, notify Unit Maintenance.
Leakage Definition.
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor leakage (Class I or II) except for fuel leaks.
Of course, consideration must be given to the fluid capacity of the item or system being
checked. When in doubt, ask your supervisor.
When operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to check fluid levels as required in your PMCS.
Class III leaks should be reported immediately to your supervisor.
