Programs

Fleet Maintenance's preventive maintenance programs

New PM program

• Inspect trailers and all equipment on the trailer as well as anything else hitched to a truck.

PM programs (ongoing)

• Large grounds equipment inspection and service (typically performed in off season while not in use with the exception of rider lawn mowers which are top priority during growing season).
• In preserving the fleet, the Department performs scheduled preventive maintenance based on mileage (4,000 / 12,000 / 48,000) that includes all vehicle manufacturers’ required tasks.
• PM inspections and repairs are performed to prevent major servicing at a later date. Preventive maintenance improves gas mileage, reliability of fleet, and extends the life of vehicles.
• A minimum of three or four PM work orders are scheduled every day in Fleet. The PM includes oil changes, transmission flushes, brake inspection and other safety inspections and repairs as required and recommended by manufacturers’ specifications.
