GENERAL
Preventive maintenance means checking the heater on a regular basis to make sure it works. It also means
finding things that are going bad before they fail completely, as well as damage that might have occurred dur-
ing transport. This helps avoid repair jobs that may take more time.
All items to be checked by Organizational Maintenance appear in the Preventive Maintenance Checks and
Services (PMCS) chart in this section. All items are to be checked weekly (every 7 days) or quarterly (every 3
months).
No Organizational PMCS is authorized for the ESPAR V7S.
Record all problems noted on DA Form 2404. Also, record the corrective actions taken to fix the heater. Use
the numbers in the Item Number column of the PMCS for the TM Number column on DA Form 2404.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
If the heater does not work after doing everything listed in the PMCS chart, go to Section V, Organizational
Troubleshooting Procedures (page 2-11).
If you find something wrong with the heater that you can’t fix, write it down on the DA Form 2404 and notify
Direct Support Maintenance.
Always do your preventive maintenance 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. Observe all WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
