Section III. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
CHECKS AND SERVICES
4-5. General
To insure that the life preserver is ready for operation at all
times, it must be inspected systematically so that defects
may be discovered and corrected before they result in
serious damage or failure.
The necessary preventive
maintenance checks and services to be performed are listed
as described in paragraph 4-6. The item numbers indicate
the sequence of minimum inspection requirements. Defects
discovered during operation of the preserver will be noted
for future correction, to be made as soon as operation has
ceased. Stop operation immediately if a deficiency is noted
during operation which would damage the equipment if
operation were continued.
All deficiencies and
shortcomings will be recorded together with the corrective
action taken on DA Form 2404 at the earliest possible
opportunity.
