OPERATOR PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES (PMCS) INTRODUCTION
GENERAL
1.
To ensure that the CB534B and CB534C Rollers, Motorized, Vibrating Tandem Steel Drums are ready for operation at all
times, they must be inspected on a regular basis so that defects may be found and corrected before they result in injury or
equipment failure or damage.
2.
The PMCS Table in WP 0012 00 contains systematic instructions on inspections, lubrications, services, adjustments and
corrections to be performed by the operator to keep the roller in good operating condition and ready for its primary mis-
sion.
EXPLANATION OF TABLE ENTRIES

ing a fault. Item numbers also appear in the order that you must perform checks and services for the interval listed.

The WARNINGs and CAUTIONs appearing in your PMCS table should always be observed. WARNINGs
and CAUTIONs appear before applicable procedures. You must observe these WARNINGs to prevent
injury to yourself and others, and CAUTIONs to prevent the roller from being damaged.
5.
Procedure Column. This column gives the procedure you must perform to check or service the item listed in the Item to
Check/Service column, to know if the roller is ready or available for its intended mission. You must perform the procedure
at the time stated in the interval column.
Not Fully Mission Capable If: Column. Information in this column tells you what faults will keep the roller from being
6.
capable of performing its primary mission. If you perform check/service procedures that show faults listed in this column,
the equipment is not mission-capable. Follow standard operating procedures for maintaining the equipment or reporting
equipment failure.
GENERAL PMCS PROCEDURES
1.
Always perform PMCS in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you've had some practice, you'll spot anything
wrong in a hurry. If the roller does not perform as required, refer to the appropriate troubleshooting procedure in Chapter
2.
If anything looks wrong and you can't fix it, write it on your DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E. If you find something
seriously wrong, IMMEDIATELY report it to supervisor.
3.
Before performing preventive maintenance, read all the checks required for the applicable interval and prepare all that is
needed to make all the checks. You'll always need a rag (Item 16, WP 0029 00) or two.
