Section II. OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
2-3.
INTRODUCTION.
a.
General. Operator preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS) are essential to the efficient
operation of the air conditioner and to prevent possible damage that might occur through neglect or failure to
observe warning symptoms in a timely manner. Checks and services performed by operators are limited to
these functions which are described in Table 2-1. Your preventive maintenance checks and services table
lists the inspections and care of your equipment required to keep it in good operating condition.
(1)
Before you operate. Always keep in mind the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS. Perform your before
PMCS.
(2)
While you operate. Always keep in mind the CAUTIONS and WARNINGS. Perform your during
PMCS
(3)
After you operate. Be sure to perform your after PMCS.
(4)
If your equipment fails to operate. If your equipment does not perform as required, refer to Table 3-1
for possible problems. Report any malfunctions or failures on the proper DA Form 2404, or refer to DA
PAM 738-750.
b.
PMCS columnar entries. The PMCS table column headings and column entries are defined in the following
subparagraphs.
(1)
Item number column. This is the order in which you perform checks and services on the air
conditioner. The entry in this column will also be used as a source of item numbers for the "TM Item
number" column on DA Form 2404, Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, in recording
results of PMCS.
(2)
Interval columns. The interval column of your PMCS table tells you when to do a certain check or
service.
(3)
Item to check/service column. Identification of item to be inspected.
(4)
Procedures column. The procedures column of your PMCS table tells you 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 the next higher level of maintenance do the work.
(5)
Not fully mission capable if: column. Entries in this column will be keyed specifically to checks listed in
the "procedures" column for the purpose of identifying, for the check, the criteria that will cause the
equipment to be classified as not fully mission capable because of inability to perform its primary
combat mission. An entry in this column will:
· Identify conditions that make the equipment not fully mission capable for readiness reporting.
· Deny use of the equipment until corrective maintenance has been performed.
NOTE
Within designated interval, these checks are to be performed in the order listed. If the
equipment must be kept in continuous operation, check and service only those items that
can be checked and serviced without disturbing operation. Make the complete checks
and services when the equipment can be shut down.
