ORGANIZATIONAL
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
GENERAL
To make sure that your vehicle is ready for operation at all times, inspect it systematically so you can discover any defects
and have them corrected before they result in serious damage or failure. The charts on the next few pages contain you,
organizational PMCS. The item numbers indicate the sequence of minimum inspection requirements. If you're operating
the vehicle and notice something wrong which could damage the equipment if you continue operation, stop operation
immediately.
Record all deficiencies and shortcomings, along with the corrective action taken, on DA Form 2404. The Item Number
column is the source for the numbers used on the TM Number column on DA Form 2404.
