Once established, the schedule must be followed 10
Structuring a maintenance program Typical systematic program (complete with supporting checklists): Use of a Preventive Maintenance Schedule (PM) with timing based on miles or hours and work. Inspection and maintenance based on established company-established checklists. PM involves inspection, maintenance, and the removal and replacement of components based on mileage or cut-off points (example: steer tires to be removed at 8/32 tread). Typical program: PM-A, PM-B, PM-C, PM-D, etc. PM-A Check out or Safety check Inspection of key components, and lubrication. Typically ½ of oil change interval or each time the vehicle leaves or enters terminal. PM-B Oil change and service. All PM-A items plus additional items. Scheduled replacement of certain components. Oil change. More in-depth inspection of some components (removing covers, etc.). Normally done at recommended oil change interval 11
PM-C Annual inspection. All PM-A and B items plus additional items. More in-depth inspection. Replacement of specific parts. FMCSA required annual inspection. PM D Special or seasonal (depending on fleet) Example: Winterization Can be done in conjunction with other PM Other PM Some fleet continue program using up to PM K (scheduled engine replacement) 12
