When completing DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet), include the item number for the check/service indicating a fault. Item numbers also appear in the order that you must do checks and services for the intervals listed. Interval Column — This column tells you when you must do the procedure in the PROCEDURE column. BEFORE procedures must be performed prior to the equipment leaving its containment area or performing its mission. DURING checks are performed by the track commander/driver/gunner per the PMCS table to monitor and identify faults in equipment performance during the mission. AFTER procedures are performed per the PMCS table at the conclusion of the mission to identify and correct faults which will preclude the next mission. WEEKLY procedures are performed once each week. WEEKLY as well as BEFORE procedures must be performed if: You are the assigned crewmember and have not operated the carrier sincethe last WEEKLY. You are operating the carrier for the first time. When a check or service procedure is required for both WEEKLY and BEFORE intervals, it is not necessary to do the procedures twice. MONTHLY procedures are performed each month. SEMI-ANNUALLY procedures are performed every six months or every 1500 miles. Man-hour Column — Man-hours required to complete all prescribed lubrication are shown to the nearest tenth of an hour. Item To Be Checked or Serviced Column — This column lists the item to be checked or serviced. Crewmember/Procedure Column — This column gives the procedure you must do to check or service the item listed in the ITEM TO BE CHECKED OR SERVICED column to know if the equipment is ready or available for its intended mission or for operation. You must do the procedure at the time stated in the INTERVAL column. Carefully follow these instructions. If you do not have the tools, or if the procedure tells you to, have unit maintenance do the work. Equipment Not Ready/Available If: Column — Information in this column tells you what faults will keep your equipment from being capable of performing its primary mission. If a check/service finds any of the faults listed in this column, do not operate the equipment. Follow standard operating procedures for maintaining the equipment or reporting equipment failure. If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it if you can by using Troubleshooting Procedures (WP 0087 00) or maintenance procedures. Notify unit maintenance if you can’t fix it. PMCS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Tools and Materials When you do your PMCS, take along the tools you will need to make all the checks. You will always need wiping rags. Basic Issue Items Tools and equipment that you need to use when you drive or maintain your carrier are listed in WP 0102 00. These items are issued with the carrier, and they must be turned in with the carrier. Keep them on your carrier at all times. You can’t take proper care of the carrier without the basic issue items, so keep them clean and in good shape. Don’t use the tools for jobs they are not designed to do. You won’t get the job done right, and you could break the tools. Expendable/Consumable Maintenance Supplies Supplies that you need to take care of your carrier are listed in WP 0104 00. These supplies are items that you normally will use up or wear out when you use them. Maintenance supplies work for you. Try to get the most out of them. Cleaning Keep carrier clean. Dirt, grease, oil, and debris only get in the way, and may cover up a serious problem. Clean your carrier as you work and as needed. When you clean the carrier or weapons, be sure to observe all information in the following paragraph. 0090 00-2 Change 3
