MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS

TM 9-2330-385-14

B-2. MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS (CONT).

h. Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. "Replace" is

authorized by the MAC and is shown as the 3rd position code of the SMR code.

i. Repair. The application of maintenance services, including fault location/troubleshooting,

removal/installation, and disassembly/assembly procedures, and maintenance actions to identify troubles and

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.

(1)

Service inclues inspection, testing, service, adjustment, alignment, calibration and/or replacement.

(2) Fault locate/troubleshooting is the process of investigating and detecting the cause of equipment

malfunctioning; the act of isolating a fault within a system or Unit Under Test (UUT).

(3) Disassemble/Assemble encompasses the step-by-step taking apart (or breakdown) of a spare/functional

group coded item to the level of its least component identified as maintenance signifacant (i.e., assigned an SMR

code) for the category of maintenance under consideration.

(4)

Actions include welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, remachining and/or resurfacing.

j. Overhaul. The maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely

serviceable/operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications (i.e.,

DMWR). Overhaul is normally the highest degree to maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not

normally return an item to like new condition.

k. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a

like new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of

material 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 equipment/components.

B-3. EXPLANATION OF COLUMNS IN SECTION II.

a. Column 1, Group Number. Column 1 lists functional group code numbers, the purpose of which is to

identify maintenance significant components, assemblies, subassemblies, and modules with the next higher

assembly. End item group number shall be "OO."

b. Column 2, Component/Assembly. Column 2 contains the names of components, assemblies,

subassemblies, and modules for which maintenance is authorized.

c. Column 3, Maintenance Function. Column 3 lists the functions to be performed on the item listed in

column 2.

d. Column 4, Maintenance Level. Column 4 specifies, by the listing of a work time figure in the appropriate

subcolumn(s), the level of maintenance authorized to perform the function listed in Column 3. This figure represents

the active time required to perform that maintenance function at the indicated level of maintenance. If the number or

complexity of the tasks within the listed maintenance function vary at different maintenance levels, appropriate work

time figures will be shown for each level. 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 (including any necessary disassembly/assembly time),

troubleshooting/fault location time, and quality assurance/quality control time in addition to the time required to
