Section III. OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND
SERVICES (PMCS)
2-7.
GENERAL.
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services means systematic caring, inspection, and servicing of
equipment to keep it in good condition and ready to use. As the operator, your mission is to:
(1)
Be sure to perform your PMCS each time you use the Water Quality Analysis Set: Purification.
(2)
Do your "Before" PMCS just before you use the equipment.
(3)
Do your "After" PMCS right after using the equipment.
(4)
Use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to record any faults that you
discover before, during, or after use, unless you can fix the fault. You DO NOT need to record faults that you fix.
2-8.
