INTRODUCTION
PMCS are performed to keep the TQG in operating condition. Inspect the TQG within specified intervals so defects
are found and corrected or problems are reported before any serious damage or failure occurs. Do the PMCS per
WP 0016, Table 1.
Pay attention to
WARNINGs and CAUTIONs. A
WARNING means someone might be
killed or
injured. A CAUTION means equipment could be damaged.
CAUTION
Designated intervals are performed under usual operating conditions. PMCS intervals must be
performed more frequently when operating under unusual conditions, to prevent premature
engine failure.
1. Always perform preventive maintenance in the same order so it gets to be a habit. Once you have had some
practice, you will spot anything wrong in a hurry.
2. Tools included with the TQG are to be used when doing the PMCS. Wiping rags are needed to remove dirt or
grease.
3. If you find something wrong when performing the PMCS, fix it if you can, using troubleshooting procedures
4. If something appears to be wrong and you cannot repair it, write it down on your DA Form 5988-E. If you find
something seriously wrong, report it to DS maintenance as soon as possible.
5. Item numbers in column 1 of WP 0016, PMCS Table 1 indicate the PMCS sequence. Use these item
numbers for the TM number column on DA Form 5988-E.
6. Information in column 6 of WP 0016, Table 1 lists conditions that make the TQG not ready/available. Write up
items not repaired on DA Form 5988-E for DS maintenance. For further information on how to use these
forms, see DA PAM 750-8.
7. Ensure all Operator PMCS has been performed, see TM 9-6115-730 -10.
FLUID LEAKAGE
Wetness around seals, gaskets, fittings, or connections indicates leakage. A stain also denotes leakage. If a fitting
or connector is loose, tighten it. If a fitting or connector is broken or defective, repair it.
Leak Definition for PMCS
CAUTION
Operation is allowable with class I and II leakage. However, any wetness or leakage of fuel is
classified as a class III leak and the TQG must be shut down immediately and the problem
corrected. All other class III leaks must be repaired immediately or reported to your supervisor.
When operating with class I or class II leaks, check fluid levels more frequently. Failure to do this
will result in damage to the 200 kW TQG.
1. Class I - Leakage indicated by wetness or discoloration, but not great enough to form drops.
2. Class II - Leakage great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause drops to drip from item being
checked/inspected.
3. Class III - Leakage great enough to form drops that fall from the item being checked/inspected.
