Preventive Maintenance Examples: cleaning, lubrication, oil change, inspection, scheduled replacement of parts.
Corrective Maintenance Examples: emergency repair, performance check, quality restoration.
Preventive Maintenance for Tools, Implements, and Equipment Before Use: oil or grease metal parts, sharpen cutting tools, inspect and repair/replace handles, inspect engine compartments, radiators, fans, and control centers for worn parts, loose belts, and oil leaks, and read the manufacturer's manual.
Preventive Maintenance for Tools, Implements, and Equipment During Use: pick the right tool for the job, and follow the manufacturer's prescribed procedures.
Preventive Maintenance for Tools, Implements, and Equipment After Use: wash and dry soiled tools, do not store tools on the floor, keep tools dry in storage using silica gels, schedule regular clean-ups for bigger equipment during the off-season, apply touch-up paint to scratched or corroded areas, and follow prescribed procedures for cleaning and stowing.
