 Preventive maintenance is always a planned technical type of maintenance. It is performed regularly at a predetermined interval of time, which means periodically on equipment.

The aim and objective of this periodic maintenance, is to avoid and minimize the failure of the equipments in use at any point in time. There are three type of fundamental and basic preventive maintenance, which is - (1.) Systematic, (2.) Condition–based (3) forecast preventive.

CONDITION-BASE, P.M, requires the monitoring of Equipment functions in a particular parameters of a particular operation, as it overcome the disadvantage of Routine Maintenance.

SYSTEMATIC, P.M is the first stage, due to its critical importance in the control of degradation of any component- parts of equipments.

The reason is that it is periodic or predetermine time interval, without controlling the general condition of the equipment.-Example of the periodic service based on a particular KM-reading.

It is done with a solid knowledge and high reliable method with elimination of doubt or any further monitoring with periodic inspection.

It is Systematic preventive maintenance because it is performed on components. Those components that did not require expensive replacement cost, before any break down could take place .

The activities which includes in the performance of PM checks like the followings;-

1.Oil Filters;- For the sake of peak performance, oil filters can be change at every three (3)- months or 3,000KMS, which ever comes up first. But it must be replaced with oil change at the same time.

2.Power Steering Fluid; - The level of it must be checked once per month through the reservoir dipstick. When it is low, add fluid and inspect the pump and hoses for any leaks.

3.Shocks -Absorber;- Look for any defective sign on the shock absorber and test the shock action by bouncing the vehicle up and down. Check for any leak or worn-out and replaced in pairs.

The forecast preventive is always based on experience of the equipment in question as acquitted to in its functionality overtime.
