equipment and includes the inspection, testing, and repair or replacement of parts, subassemblies, or units
that inspection and tests indicate would probably fail before the next scheduled periodic service. Preventive
maintenance checks and services of the printer at the organizational level are made at monthly intervals at
the same time that the operator's daily and weekly checks and services are made unless otherwise directed by
the commanding officer.

Learning Event 2:
DESCRIBE PROCEDURES FOR PERFORMING MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1.
On a monthly basis, you must perform certain preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS)
on the equipment if you want it to be dependable.
2.
Perform the organizational maintenance functions indicated in the monthly preventive checks and
services chart (fig 1-1) once a month. The paragraph references are for TM 11-6740-265-12.
3.
A month is defined as approximately 30 calendar days of 8-hour per day operation. If the equipment
is operated 16 hours a day, the monthly preventive maintenance checks and services should be performed at
15-day intervals. Adjustments of the maintenance interval must be made to compensate for any unusual
operating conditions. Equipment maintained in a standby (ready for immediate operation) condition must
have monthly preventive maintenance. Equipment in limited storage (requires service before operation) does
not require monthly maintenance.
