a. Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS), Table 4-1, are to be done to be sure the helmet

"Interval" lists when to do them.

them fixed after you have stopped using the helmet.
d. Record all defects and steps taken to fix them on DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and
Maintenance Work Sheet) as soon as possible.
NOTE
Always keep in mind the WARNINGS located on the inside
front cover. Perform BEFORE (B) PMCS.
