(2) Welds. Inspect for gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad welds to your supervisor.
(3) Electric Wires or Connectors. Inspect for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or
broken connectors. Make repairs or replace as required.
(4) Hoses, Lines, and Fittings. Inspect for wear, damage, and leaks. Ensure that clamps and fittings are
tight. If a leak originates from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If a component is broken or worn out, correct
problem if authorized by the Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) (Appendix B). If not authorized, report it to your
supervisor.
4-11. SPECIFIC PMCS PROCEDURES.
a. Organizational PMCS are provided in Table 4-1. Always perform PMCS in the order listed. Once it
becomes a habit, anything that is not right can be spotted in a minute. If anything wrong is discovered through PMCS,
perform the appropriate troubleshooting task in Section IV of this chapter. If any component or system is not
serviceable or if given service does not correct problem, notify your supervisor.
b. The PMCS procedures in Table 4-1 are performed at three intervals. Before performing preventive
maintenance, read all checks required for applicable interval and prepare tools needed to make all checks. Have
several clean rags (item 18, Appendix E) handy. Perform ALL inspections at applicable interval.
c. The columns in PMCS are defined as follows:
(1) Item No. Provides a logical sequence for PMCS to be performed and is used as a source number
when recording PMCS results on DA Form 2404.
(2) Interval. Specifies interval at which PMCS is to be performed.
(3) Item to be Inspected. Lists system and common name of items that are to be inspected.
(4) Procedures. Included in this column are specific servicing, inspection, replacement, or adjustment
