INTRODUCTION
Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) are performed to keep the Containerized Shower

every day the shower is operated, using the PMCS table. Pay attention to WARNING and CAUTION
statements. A WARNING means someone could be hurt. A CAUTION means equipment could be
damaged.
Before you begin using the shower, do Before PMCS.
During use of the shower, do During PMCS.
After using the shower, do After PMCS.
Once a week, do Weekly PMCS if the shower has been in use.
Do Monthly PMCS once a month if the shower has been in use.
If you find something wrong when performing PMCS, fix it using troubleshooting and/or maintenance
procedures.
The right-hand column of the PMCS table lists conditions that make the shower not fully mission capable.
Write up the faults not fixed on DA Form 2404 for unit maintenance. For further information on how to use
this form, see DA PAM 738-750.
If tools required to perform PMCS are not listed in procedures, notify your supervisor.
