This Maintenance Allocation Chart designates responsibility for performance of Maintenance functions

to specific Maintenance categories.

Maintenance functions:

Inspect: To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical and/or electrical

characteristics with established standards through examination.

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.

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.

Adjust: To maintain, within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the

operating characteristics to specified parameters.

Align: To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.

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 instruments, one of which is a

certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the instrument being
