INTRODUCTION

Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the Cargo Bed Cover

(CBC) and its associated equipment in good operating condition. The checks are used to find, correct, or

report problems. PMCS are done every day the CBC 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. Operators are to perform the PMCS tasks, keeping in mind the following

guidelines:

Before you begin using the CBC, do Before PMCS

During use of the CBC, do During PMCS

After using the CBC, do After PMCS

Once a week, do Weekly PMCS if the CBC has been in use

Do Monthly PMCS once a month if the CBC 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 CBC not fully mission capable.

Write up the faults that cannot be repaired on DA Form 2404 for unit maintenance. For further information

on how to use this form, see DA PAM 738-750.

If tools that are required to perform PMCS are not listed in procedures, notify your superior.

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 frame or components visible? Correct any faults or notify unit

maintenance.
