21. Definition of Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance means making systematic checks and adjust-
ments at regular intervals to keep equipment operating at top efficiency.
It is not the same as trouble shooting or repair. The purpose of pre-
ventive maintenance is to prevent breakdowns and the need for repair.
The purpose of trouble shooting and repair is to locate and correct
existing defects. The importance of preventive maintenance cannot be
overemphasized. Failure or inefficient operation of one component of
the equipment may cause the failure of the entire unit. lt is vitally
important, therefore, that operators and repairmen maintain their
equipment properly.
