Which reference is not required for establishing a preventive maintenance program?

Establishing a preventive maintenance program relies on specific references that provide the guidelines, schedules, and procedures necessary for proper equipment maintenance. Each of the references plays a unique role.

Equipment Lubrication Orders detail the lubrication requirements of specific equipment, which is essential for maintaining optimal function and extending the life of the machinery. Technical Manuals, such as TM-4700-15/1H, provide comprehensive instructions and procedures for operating and maintaining the equipment, while Equipment Technical Manuals offer standards and protocols for repairs and service.

Previous maintenance logs, while useful for reviewing historical performance and issues, are not strictly required to establish the foundational elements of a preventive maintenance program. They can offer insights into recurring problems or patterns, but the core structure of the program comes primarily from the established guidelines and maintenance orders.
