   - Reference brake manufacturer manual, customizing inspection for brakes, wear limits, etc.
   - Repeat for engine, transmission, etc, you get the point. Basically any component that has it’s own manual I am referencing to make our inspection meet standards set forth by NFPA and OEM.
+  - Add Out-of-Service criteria from chapter 6.
+  - repeat the steps for chapters 9 through 16 as applicable.
 **All these things will make a PM take longer and cost more**

 Some examples of things explicitly required, but that we have not done:
   * Hale ESP primers call for annual disassembly and cleaning.(([[https://www.haleproducts.com/media/pdf/SB64_ESP_Primer_Maintenance.pdf|SB61]] from Hale))
-  * Wheel lugs need to be checked for proper torque. I have never seen a tire professional use anything other than an impact wrench((I’m only saying I havent seen it. I’m sure many do use a torque wrench)). I’ve also known of broken wheel studs with no probably cause besides normal wear and tear (doubtful) or over torquing. What I’m implying here is that we can’t just make sure the lug is at least as tight as the spec, we need to loosen it and torque it with a torque wrench. You have wheel covers? That makes it take even longer.

 How can we find a balance in making sure we perform service to the standard, without being frivolous? If cleaning a primer every year for 5 years costs more than repairing that primer when/if it breaks, and the low probability of an inoperable primer affecting fireground operations or other fire truck components by it’s failure, is it responsible to make a decision to **not** perform the maintenance? I’m just asking the question, being the devils advocate.
