4-7. General. Your unit PMCS for the transporter (table 4-1), for the ramp bay (table4-2), and for the interior bay (table
4-3), lists inspections and care required to keep the improved float bridge equipment in good operating condition. Unit
PMCS are performed to ensure that the equipment is ready for operation at all times. So that each piece of equipment
can be throughly serviced, three separate tables have been prepared, one for each major component.
4-8. Purpose of PMCS Table. The purpose of the PMCS table is to provide a systematic method of inspection
and servicing the equipment. In this way, small defects can be detected early before they become a major problem causing
the equipment to fail to complete its mission. The PMCS table is arranged with the individual PMCS procedures listed
in sequence under assigned intervals. The most logical time (before or during operation) to perform each procedure deter-
mines the interval to which it is assigned. Make a habit of doing the checks in the same order each time and anything wrong
will be seen quickly. See paragraphs 4-9 and 4-10 for an explanation of the columns in tables 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3.
4-9. Explanation of Columns. The following is a list of the PMCS table column headings with a description of
the information found in each column.
a. Item No. This column shows the sequence in which the checks and services are to be performed, and is used
to identify the equipment area on the Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet, DA Form 2404.
b. Interval. This column shows when each check is to be done.
