INTRODUCTION
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the LME in good operating
condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or report problems. Unit personnel are to do the PMCS
jobs as shown in the PMCS table. PMCS are done every day the LME is operated, using the PMCS
table. Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION statements. A WARNING means someone could be
hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.
Before you begin using the LME, do Before PMCS
During use of the LME, do During PMCS
After using the LME, do After PMCS
Once a week, do Weekly PMCS if the LME has been in use
Do Monthly PMCS once a month if the LME has been in use
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it using troubleshooting and/or maintenance
procedures.
The right-hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the LME not fully mission capable.
Write up the faults not fixed on DA Form 2404 for direct support maintenance. For further information on
how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
If tools required to perform PMCS are not listed in procedures, notify your supervisor.
INSPECTION
Look for signs of trouble. Senses help here. You can feel, smell, hear, or see many problems that can be
eliminated before they get worse. Inspect to see if items are in good condition. Are components correctly
installed and secured? Is any damage to the fabric or frame components visible ? Correct any faults or
notify unit or direct support maintenance.
There are some common items to check on the LME. These include the following:
* Fabric sections, including windows, vehicle, and personnel doors.
* Frame sections, including attached hardware and quick release pins/lanyards.
* Lights, including power cords.
* Power distribution box, including circuit breakers, receptacles, switch, and power cord
* Transport Covers and Bags
