Overview of operational function checks

The planned maintenance (PM) services prescribed in the PM schedules represent the current manufacturer's recommendations. Specific customer requirements and/or your site environment may necessitate more or less frequent intervals for PM service. An agreement to perform PMs less frequently than these recommendations can be made with the understanding that a reduction of system performance may result.

The PM service schedules in Planned maintenance service schedules list all the PM procedures and the frequency they should be completed by qualified service personnel. There are different schedules for each system type.

You should perform the below operator function checks listed in the table below.
