PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS)
GENERAL
NOTE
Designated PMCS intervals are to be followed under usual
operating conditions. PMCS must be performed more frequently
when operating under unusual conditions.
Perform all checks and services per the designated intervals specified in the PMCS table. Service intervals
are for normal operation of the BEB in moderate temperatures, humidity, and atmospheric conditions. The
intervals are hard-time intervals which are performed per the BEB age or calendar time. The hard-time
intervals are based on calendar time or hours. An example of calendar intervals are quarterly delivery or
three months or 250 hours.

each column.
a. Item Number. This column shows the sequence in which the inspection and services are to be
performed, and is used to identify the equipment area on the Equipment Inspection and Maintenance
Worksheet, DA Form 2404 or 5988-E (automated), in accordance with DA Form 750-8.
b. Interval. This column shows when each check is to be performed.
c. Location/Item To Check/Service. This column lists the location of the item to be inspected by
