APPENDIX D
MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION
Section I. INTRODUCTION
D-1. General
This appendix provides a summary of the maintenance
operations for the AN/APM-305A. It authorizes
categories of maintenance for specific maintenance
functions on repairable items and components and the
tools and equipment required to perform each function.
This appendix may be used as an aid in planning main-
tenance operations.
D-2. Maintenance Function
Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined
as follows:
a. Inspect To determine the serviceability of an
item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or
electrical characteristics with established standards
through examination.
b. Test To verify serviceability and to detect incip-
ient failure by measuring the mechanical or electrical
characteristics of an item and comparing those charac-
teristics with prescribed standards.
c. Service. Operations required periodically to keep
an item in proper operating condition, i.e., to clean (de-
contaminate), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to
replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or com-
pressed air supplies.
d. Adjust. To maintain, within prescribed limits, by
bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the
operating characteristics to the specified parameters.
e. Align To adjust specified variable elements of an
item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to
be made or to be adjusted on instruments or test
measuring and diagnostic equipments used in precision
measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instru-
ments, one of which is a certified standard of known
accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the
accuracy of the instrument being compared.
g. Install The act of emplacing, seating, or fixing
into position an item, part, module (component or as-
sembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of
the equipment or system.
h Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable like
type part, subassembly, or module (component or as-
sembly) for an unserviceable counterpart.
i Repair. The application of maintenance services
(inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, replace)
or other maintenance actions (welding, grinding, rivet-
ing, straightening, facing, remachining, or resurfac-
ing) to restore serviceability to an item by correcting
specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a
part, subassembly, module (component or assembly),
end item, or system.
j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (ser-
vice/action) necessary to restore an item to a com-
pletely serviceable/operational condition as prescribed
by maintenance standards (i.e., DMWR) in appropriate
technical publications. Overhaul is normally the high-
est degree of maintenance performed by the Army.
Overhaul does not normally return an item to like new
condition.
k. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions neces-
sary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to
a like new condition in accordance with original
manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest
degree of materiel maintenance applied to Army
equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of
returning to zero those age measurements (hours,
miles, etc.) considered in classifying Army equip-
ments/components.
D-3. Column Entries
a Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists group
numbers, the purpose of which is to identify compo-
nents, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the
next higher assembly.
b. Column 2, Component/Assembly. Column 2 con-
tains the noun names of components, assemblies, sub-
assemblies, and modules for which maintenance is
authorized.
c. Column 3, Maintenance Functions. Column 3 lists
the functions to be performed on the item listed in col-
umn 2. When items are listed without maintenance
functions, it is solely for purpose of having the group
numbers in the MAC and RPSTL coincide.
d. Column 4, Maintenance Category Column 4
specifies, by the listing of a‘’ work time” figure in the
appropriate subcolumn(s), the lowest level of mainte-
nance authorized to perform the function listed in col-
umn 3. This figure represents the active time required
to perform that maintenance function at the indicated
category of maintenance. If the number or complexity
of the tasks within the listed maintenance function
vary at different maintenance categories, appropriate
“work time” figures will be shown for each category.
The number of task-hours specified by the” work time”
figure represents the average time required to restore
an item (assembly, subassembly, component, module,
end item or system) to a serviceable condition under
typical field operating conditions. This time includes
preparation time, troubleshooting time, and quality
assurance/quality control time in addition to the time
required to perform the specific tasks identified for the
maintenance functions authorized in the maintenance
