SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If something doesn't work due to a fault, troubleshoot the fault with the instructions in this manual.
If the fault cannot be fixed then notify your supervisor.
Always do preventive maintenance in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had some
practice, it will be much easier to spot any faults in a hurry.
If there is anything wrong, and you can't fix it, write it on a DA Form 2404.
If there is something seriously wrong, report it to Organizational Maintenance immediately.
When you do your preventive maintenance, take along the tools you need to make all the checks. You
always need a rag or two.
Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way and may cover up a serious problem. Clean as you work
and as needed. Keep your equipment clean.
Use dry-cleaning solvent PD-680 on all metal surfaces.
Use soap and water to clean rubber or plastic material.
WARNING
Dry-cleaning solvent PD-680 is both toxic and flammable. Avoid prolonged breathing of
vapors and avoid skin contact. Do not use near open flame or excessive heat. Flash point of
solvent is 138F (59C). Serious illness, injury, or loss of life could result from improper use.
Bolts, Nuts, and Screws. Check that they are not loose, missing, bent, or broken. Look for chipped
paint, bare metal, or rust around bolt heads. Report loose nuts and bolts to Organizational maintenance.
Welds. Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. Report bad
welds to Organizational maintenance.
Electric Wires and Connectors. Look for cracked or broken insulation, bare wires, and loose or
broken connectors. Report loose connections and faulty wiring to Organizational maintenance. Pay
particular attention to wires for damage at points where they may rub against the frame or other
components
Hoses and Air Lines. Look for wear, damage, or leaks. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. If a
leak comes from a loose fitting or connector, or if something is broken or worn out, notify Organizational
maintenance.
