Look for loose or chipped paint, rust, or gaps where parts are welded together. If you
find a bad weld, report it to unit maintenance.
ELECTRONIC WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
Look for cracked or broken wires, bare wires, and loose or broken connectors.
Tighten loose connectors and make sure the wires are in good shape. If cracked or
broken wires, bare wires, and/or broken connectors are found, report it to unit
maintenance.
HOSES AND FLUID LINES
While doing your PMCS, look for wear, damage, and leaks in all hoses and fluid
lines. Make sure clamps and fittings are tight. Wet spots mean leaks. A stain
around a fitting or connector can mean a leak. Look for these telltale signs. If a leak
comes from a loose fitting or connector, tighten it. If a hose or line appears broken or
worn out, report it to unit maintenance.
MOUNTED ACCESSORIES
Inspect that mounted accessories are secure and in place before you begin to operate
your carrier.
BEFORE YOU GET GOING:
Take a quick walk-around. Be alert. Look for obvious leaks, damage, or missing
parts. If trouble is clearly present, go directly to the PMCS step on the damaged
item.
