BUCKET-PROTM SYSTEM PMCS
SECTION II.
PMCS INTRODUCTION.
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) means systematic caring, inspecting, and servicing
equipment to keep it in good condition and to prevent breakdowns. As a Bucket-ProTM System Operator, your
mission is to:
a.
Be sure to perform your PMCS each time you operate the Bucket-ProTM System. Always do your
PMCS in the same order so it becomes a habit. Once you've had some practice, you'll quickly
spot anything wrong.
b.
Do your Before PMCS just before you operate the Bucket-ProTM System. Pay attention to
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
c.
Do your During PMCS while you operate Bucket-ProTM System. Pay attention to WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
d.
Do your After PMCS right after operating Bucket-ProTM System. Pay attention to WARNINGS,
CAUTIONS, and NOTES.
e.
Do your Weekly PMCS once a week.
f.
Use DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet) to
record any faults that you don't immediately fix.
PMCS PROCEDURES.
a.
PMCS Table (Table 4-1.) lists inspections and care required to keep your Bucket-ProTM System
in good operating condition. This table is set up so you can do Before and After PMCS while
walking around the Bucket-ProTM System.

The "Interval" column tells you when to do a certain check or service.
c.
The "Procedure" column tells you how to do required checks and services. Carefully follow these
instructions.
d.
The "Not Fully Mission Capable If " column tells you when your Bucket-ProTM System is
nonmission capable and why the Bucket-ProTM System cannot be used.

When something looks wrong that you cannot fix, write down the problem on your
DA Form 2404 or DA Form 5988-E. Immediately report the problem to your Supervisor.
