Section I. INTRODUCTION
1. General
This Maintenance Allocation Chart designates responsibility for performance of maintenance functions to
specific maintenance categories.
2. Maintenance Functions
a. Inspect: To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical and/or elec-
trical characteristics with established standards through examination.
b. Test: To verify serviceability and detect incipient failures by measuring the mechanical or electrical
characteristics of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards.
c. Service: Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition, i.e., to clean
(decontaminate), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or compressed
air supplies.
d. Adjust: To maintain, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the
operating characteristics to specified parameters.
e. Align: To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
f. Calibrate: To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments or test
measuring and diagnostic equipment used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two in-
struments, one of which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the
accuracy of the instrument being compared.
g. Install: The act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position an item, part, or module (component or
assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system,
h. Replace.. The act of substituting a serviceable like type part, subassembly, or module (component or
assembly) for an unserviceable counterpart.
i. Repair: The application of maintenance services or other maintenance actions to restore serviceability to
an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part, subassembly, module (com-
ponent or assembly), end item or system.
j. Overhaul: That maintenance effort (service/action) necessary to restore an item to a completely ser-
vicable/operational condition as prescribed by maintenance standards (i.e., DMWR) in appropriate technical
publications. Overhaul is normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does
not normally return an item to like new condition.
