KMB 18/28 (BANDMASK)

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

A2.1 inspection and maintenance should be 
performed at least annually

Frequency of maintenance is dictated by 
condition revealed during daily/monthly 
inspection

Monthly inspections determine necessity for 
overhaul with more accuracy than simply placing 
a number of hours of use
