PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS
AND SERVICES
INTRODUCTION
General
This work package contains information and instructions for Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services
(PMCS) that are performed to keep the Lightweight Water Purifier (LWP) and associated components in
operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Operators are to do the PMCS
tasks as shown in the PMCS table. Perform PMCS every day the LWP is operated using the PMCS table.
PMCS Procedures
Performing the PMCS procedures in Table 1 will make sure the LWP will meet its mission objective.
The PMCS table is arranged in six columns:
ITEM NO. the order by which the LWP is checked. This item number must be recorded on DA Form 2404
in the TM Number column.
INTERVAL the periodicities as outlined below.
MANHOUR the man-hour in a minimum of tenths it takes to inspect or observe.
ITEM TO BE CHECKED OR SERVICES what should be inspected or observed
PROCEDURE how to inspect the item
EQUIPMENT NOT READY/AVAILABLE IF: - why and when you can't use the equipment
All PMCS will be done according to the periodicities as follows:
Before you begin operating LWP equipment, do Before PMCS.
During operation, do During PMCS.
After operation, do After PMCS.
Once a week do Weekly PMCS. If the LWP has not been operated in a week, also do Before PMCS at
the same time.
Do Monthly PMCS once a month. If the LWP has not been operated in a month, also do After PMCS at
the same time.
If you are operating the LWP for the first time, do your Weekly and Monthly PMCS the first time you do
your Before PMCS.
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if you can, using the troubleshooting procedures
and/or maintenance procedures. If you can't repair the item, refer the problem to unit or higher maintenance.
The right-hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the LWP not fully mission capable. Write up
items not fixed on DA Form 2404 for unit maintenance. For further information on how to use this form, refer to
DA PAM 738-750.
If special tools required to perform PMCS are not listed in TM 10-4610-310-24P, notify unit maintenance.
