PMCS PROCEDURES
The driver/crew should present the vehicle for service in a clean, dry condition, free from dirt or mud, that may hide
problems. Do not wash vehicle just before service so that any leaks will be seen.
Always use the proper tools and cleaning materials needed to make the required checks and services. Use the PMCS
chart to help identify problems before and during the services.
Always do the checks and services in the same order so the pattern will become a habit, and with practice, any problems
will be seen in a hurry.
Use the Organizational Troubleshooting procedures (page 2-43) in this manual to aid in finding causes for problems
whenever possible.
If a problem cannot be fixed by Organizational Maintenance, write it up on a maintenance request form (DA Form 2407)
and forward it, with the equipment, to the proper supporting maintenance activity.
