Preventive Maintenance Services.

General. To insure that the equipment is ready for operation

at all times, it must be inspected systematically before operation,

during operation, and after operation, so that defects may be dis-

covered and corrected before they result in serious damage or

failure.

The necessary preventive maintenance services will be

perfomed before operation.

Defects discovered during operation

of the unit will be noted for future correction, to be made as soon

as operation has ceased.

Stop operation immediately if a deficiency

is noticed during operation which would damage the equipment if

operation were continued.

After-operation services will be performed

by the operator after every operating period. After-operation servic-

es will be performed at intervals based on the normal operation of

the equipment.

Reduce interval to compensate for abnormal conditions.

Defects or unsatisfactory operating characteristics beyond the scope

of the operator to correct must be reported at the earliest opport-

unity to organizational maintenance.

Responsibility for performance

of preventive maintenance services rests not only with the operator,

but with the entire chain of command from section chief to commanding

officer (AR 750-5).
