SECTION III. UNIT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES
4-6. GENERAL. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) means systematic caring, inspecting, and
servicing of equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. As the LMS unit maintenance technician,
your mission is to:
a.
Be sure to perform your PMCS on schedule. Always do your PMCS in the same order, so it gets to be a habit.
b.
Do your SEMIANNUAL (S) PMCS every six months. Pay attention to WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs.
c.
Do your ANNUAL (A) PMCS once each year. Pay attention to WARNINGs, CAUTIONs, and NOTEs.
d.
Use DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to record any faults that you discover
during inspection unless you can fix them. You DO NOT need to record faults that you fix.
4-7. PMCS PROCEDURES.
a.
Your Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services, Table 4-1, lists' inspections and care required keep your
LMS in good operating condition. It is set up so you can make your checks as you walk around the LMS.
b.
The INTERVAL column of Table 4-1 tells you when to do a certain check or service.
c.
The PROCEDURE column of Table 4-1 tells you how to do required checks and services. Carefully follow these
instructions. If you do not have tools, or if the procedure tells you to, notify your supervisor.

ready to perform its combat missions. (See DA Pam 738-750)
d.
The 'EQUIPMENT IS NOT READY/AVAILABLE IF:" column in Table 4-1 tells you when your LMS is non-mission
capable and why the LMS cannot be used.

If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 . IMMEDIATELY, report it to your
supervisor.
