MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION CHART
(FOR ARMY ONLY)
Section I. INTRODUCTION
C-1.
General
a.
This section provides a general explanation
of all maintenance and repair functions authorized at
various maintenance levels.
b.
Section II designates overall responsibility
for the performance of maintenance functions on the
identified end item or component and the work measure-
ment time required to perform the functions by the
designated maintenance level. The implementation of
the maintenance functions upon the end item or
component will be consistent with the assigned
maintenance functions.
c.
Section III lists the tools and test equipment
required for each maintenance function as referenced
from Section II. Not Applicable.
C-2.
Explanation of Columns in Section II
a.
Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists
group
numbers
to
identify
related
components,
assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next
higher assembly. The applicable groups are listed in the
MAC in disassembly sequence beginning with the first
group removed.
b.
Column 2, ComponentlAssembly. This
column contains the noun names of components,
assemblies, subassemblies and modules for which
maintenance is authorized.
c.
Column/Maintenance Functions. This
column lists the functions to be performed on the item
listed in column 2. The maintenance functions are
defined as follows:
(1)
Inspect. To determine serviceability of
an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or
electrical characteristics with established standards
though examination.
(2)
Test. To
verify
serviceability
and
detect incipient failure by measuring the mechanical or
electrical characteristics of an item and comparing those
characteristics
with
prescribed
standards.
(3)
Service.
Operation
required
periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition,
i.e., to clean
(decontaminate), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to
replenish fuel, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or compressed
air supplies.
(4)
Adjust. To maintain within prescribed
limits, by bringing into proper or exact position, by setting
the operating characteristics to specified parameters.
(5)
Align. To adjust specified variable
elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired
performance.
(6)
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 comparison of two
instruments, one of which is a certified standard of
known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in
the accuracy of the instrument being compared.
(7)
Install. The act of emplacing, seating,
or fixing into position an item, part or module (component
or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning
of an equipment or system.
(8)
Replace. The act of substituting a
serviceable like type part, subassembly, or module
(component
or
assembly)
for
an
unserviceable
counterpart.
(9)
Repair.
The
application
of
maintenance services (inspect, test, service, adjust,
align, calibrate, or replace) or other maintenance actions
(welding,
grinding,
riveting,
straightening,
facing,
remachining or resurfacing) 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.
(10) Overhaul. That maintenance effort
(service action) necessary to restore an item to a
completely
serviceable/operational
condition
as
prescribed by maintenance standards (i.e., DMWR) in
appropriate technical publications. Overhaul is normally
the highest degree of maintenance performed by the
Army. Overhaul does not normally return an item to a
like new condition.
