GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES.
a.
Always perform PMCS in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you've
had some practice, you'll spot anything wrong in a hurry. If the truck does not perform as
required, refer to the appropriate troubleshooting procedure in Chapter 3, Section II.
b.
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404. If you
find something seriously wrong, IMMEDIATELY report it to your supervisor.
c.
Before performing preventive maintenance, read all the checks required for the
applicable interval and prepare all the tools you need to make all the checks. You'll always
need a rag (Item 15, Appendix D) or two.
WARNING
