components, assemblies, and subassemblies by the lowest appropriate

maintenance category.

b. Columns in the maintenance allocation chart are as follows:

(1) Part or component This column shows only the nomenclature

or standard item name. Additional descriptive data are in-

cluded only where clarification is necessary to identify the

component. components, assemblies, and subassemblies are

listed in top-down order. That is, the assemblies which are

part of a component are listed immediately below that com-

ponent, and subassemblies which are part of an assembly are

listed immediately below that assembly. Each generation

breakdown (components, assemblies, or subassemblies) are

listed in disassembly order or alphabetical order.

(2) Maintenance function. This column indicates the various

maintenance functions allocated to the categories.

(a) Service To clean, to preserve, and to replenish lubricants.

(b) Adjust. To regulate periodically to prevent malfunction.

(c) Inspect To verify serviceability and detect incipient elec-

trical or mechanical failure by serutiny.

(d) Test. To verify serviceability and to detect incipient electrical

or mechanical failure by use of special equipment such as

gages, meters, etc.

(e) Replace. To substitute serviceable component, assemblies,

or subassemblies for unserviceable components, assemblies,

or subassemblies.

(f) Repair. To restore an item to serviceable condition through

correction of a specific failure or unserviceable condition.
