Chapter 8 – Maintenance
This section explains the maintenance concepts and provides instructions on preventive
maintenance necessary to ensure that the system and equipment are maintained at its optimum
operating condition.
8.1 Maintenance Concepts
This Maintenance concept is categorized into one (1) main category:
1. Preventive Maintenance (PM)
8.2 Preventive Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance (PM) or Scheduled Maintenance is the systematic care, servicing and
inspection of equipment to prevent failures, reduce downtime and maintain it in a optimum
operational condition.
8.3 Preventive or Scheduled Maintenance (PM) Tasks
In general, the following PM tasks are recommended to be performed:
a. Pre-Operational Checks
These are tasks to be performed before operation or mission to ensure that the system is
operationally ready:
1. Check for completeness of the system, ensure all equipment and accessories are in place
and in good condition;
2. Check that all switches are at OFF position;
3. Check that maintenance records indicate the equipment are in a fully safe state for
operation;
4. Perform system power up, ensure that the indicators are lit accordingly;
5. Perform self test, view diagnostic messages and device status and ensure no fault or error
messages are displayed or reported;
b. Post-operation Checks
These tasks are performed as a procedural post operation check to ensure system is properly shut
down.
