MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS. Maintenance
functions are 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 detect incipient
failure by measuring the mechanical or electrical
characteristics
of
an
item
and
comparing
those
characteristics with prescribed standards.
c.
Service. Operations required periodically to
keep an item in proper operating condition, i.e., to clean,
to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel,
lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or compressed air supplies.
d.
Adjust. To maintain, within prescribed limits, by
bringing into proper or exact position, or by setting the
operating characteristics to 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 for test,
measuring and diagnostic equipments used in precision
measurement.
Consists
of
comparisons
of
two
instruments, one of which is a certified standing 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, or module in a manner to
allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system.
h.
Replace. The act of substituting a serviceable
like part, subassembly, or module for an unserviceable
counterpart.
i.
Repair.
The
application
of
maintenance
services (inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, or
replace) or other maintenance actions (welding, grinding,
