ORGANIZATIONAL

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)

GENERAL

To make sure that your ramp is ready for operation at al I 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 your organizational PMCS. The item numbers indicate the

sequence of minimum inspection requirements. If you're operating the ramp

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.

ORGANIZATIONAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES

1. The item numbers of the table indicate the sequence of the PMCS. Perform

at the intervals shown below:

(a) Do your (Q) PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE quarterly (every three months).

(b) Do your (A) PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE annually (once every year).

2. If something doesn't work, troubleshoot it with the instructions in this

manual or notify your supervisor.

3. Always do your preventive maintenance 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.

4. If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it down on your DA

Form 2404. If you find something seriously wrong, report it to direct support

as soon as possible.

Dry cleaning solvent P-D-680 is toxic and flammable. Wear protec-

tive goggles and gloves and use only in well-ventilated area.

Avoid allowing solvent to contact skin, eyes and clothes, and don't

breathe vapors. Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. If

you become dizzy while using cleaning solvent, get fresh air

immediately and get medical aid. If contact with skin or clothing

is made, flush with water. If contact with eyes is made, wash your

eyes with water and get medical aid immediately.
