Complete ANNUAL PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE once each year and/or every 250 hours, whichever
comes first.

situation.
If something does not work, troubleshoot per instructions in the troubleshooting section of this publication.
If anything looks wrong and is not fixed immediately upon discovery, complete either a DA Form 2404 or
DA FORM 5988E.
