TM 9-2320-366-20-2

g. Remove/Install. To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance

functions. Install may be the act of emplacing, seating, or fixing into position a spare, repair part, or module (component

or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system.

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

by the MAC and assigned maintenance level is shown as the 3d 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.

j. Overhaul.

That 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 of 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 (e.g.,

hours/miles) considered in classifying Army equipment/components.

B-3. Explanation of Columns in the MAC, 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.

b. Column 2, Component/Assembly.

Column 2 contains the item 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 items listed in Column 2.

(For detailed explanation of these functions, see Paragraph B-2.)

d. Column 4, Maintenance Level. Column 4 specifies each level of maintenance authorized to perform each function

listed in Column 3, by indicating work time required (expressed in man-hours in whole hours or decimals) in the

appropriate subcolumn. This work-time 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 are to 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.

Services Inspect, test, service, adjust, align calibrate, and/or replace.

Fault location/troubleshooting - The process of investigating and detecting the cause of equipment malfunction; the

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

Disassembly/assembly - The step-by-step breakdown (taking apart) of a spare/functional group coded item, to the

level of its least component, that is assigned an SMR code for the level of maintenance under consideration (i.e.,

identified as maintenance significant).

Actions - Welding, grinding, riveting, straightening, facing, machining, and/or resurfacing.
