preventive maintenance services and inspect and exercise as specified in this manual. Refer to DA

PAM 710-2-1.

equipment to note any deficiencies that may have occurred. Inspect equipment in open storage

weekly and that in covered storage monthly. Immediately after any severe storm or environmental

change, inspect all equipment. The following are examples of things to look for during visual

inspection:

1. Low or flat tires

as possible. Whenever possible, perform all maintenance "on site".
