TM 10-5430-243-12&P 0019 000019 00-1 Change 1 28 April 2002 UNIT MAINTENANCE TANK, FABRIC, COLLAPSIBLE, WATER STORAGE, 20,000 AND 50,000 GALLONS UNIT PMCS PROCEDURES INTRODUCTION General Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the collapsible fabric water tank assembly in operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct or report problems. Be sure to perform PMCS each time you service the tank assembly. Using the PMCS table, always do PMCS in the same order so it gets to be a habit. With practice, you’ll quickly spot anything wrong. Pay close attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged. Before you use the tank assembly, do “Before” PMCS. During tank use, do “During” PMCS. After the tank assembly is used, do “After” PMCS. Do “Weekly” PMCS once a week. Do “Quarterly” PMCS once every three months. Do “Semi-annually” PMCS once every six months. If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if you can, using troubleshooting procedures and/or maintenance procedures. Use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to record any faults that you discover before, during, or after operation, unless you can fix them. You do not need to record faults that you fix. For further information on how to use DA Form 2404, see DA PAM 738-750. PMCS Procedures Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 1, lists the inspections and care required to keep the water tank assembly in good operating condition. The “Interval” column of Table 1 indicates when a certain check or service should be performed. NOTE When a check and service procedure is required for both “Before” and “Weekly” intervals, it is not necessary to perform the “Weekly” procedure during the same week in which the “Before” procedure was done. The “Procedure” column of Table 1 tells you how to do the required checks and services. Carefully follow these instructions. When the procedure tells you to, notify your supervisor. The “Equipment Not Ready/Available If” column of Table 1 tells you when and why your equipment cannot be used.
