SECTION 2

Scheduled Maintenance Inspections

Contents

DESCRIPTION

This section establishes scheduled maintenance inspections of the MHT175 trailer (MHT) and associated sys-
tems at the designated frequencies. Performing these inspections will identify potential system discrepancies
and allow preventative maintenance to be performed before a component or system is rendered totally inop-
erative. Once again, these inspections are in addition to and do not replace existing CAT scheduled inspection
requirements.
