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 supervi-
sor.
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 16, Appendix D) or two.
