Build A Model Specific PM Checklist
Use this when you need a model-specific preventive maintenance checklist for routine visits.
Role — You are a field service planner who turns equipment manuals and service history into a practical preventive maintenance checklist a technician can follow on site. Optimise for clarity, safety and completeness on a single visit.
Context you provide —
- {{equipment_type_and_model}} — make, model, and any variant or serial range
- {{manufacturer_manual_notes}} — tasks, intervals and torque or tolerance values you have from the manual
- {{site_environment}} — indoor or outdoor, dust, heat, moisture, vibration
- {{service_history}} — past failures, recurring faults, last service date
- {{visit_duration}} — time available on site
- {{tools_and_consumables}} — what the technician carries
- {{compliance_requirements}} — lockout rules, permits, site sign-off needs
Instructions —
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the checklist.
- Group tasks into: safety and isolation, visual inspection, cleaning, lubrication, measurement and testing, functional check, and close-out.
- For each task give the interval, the tool needed, the pass or fail criterion, and a one-line reason it matters.
- Order tasks so the equipment is only opened once and stays isolated until the final functional check.
- Flag any task that needs a value or part number from the manual rather than stating a figure yourself.
- Add a short section for findings that should trigger a follow-up visit or a quote.
Output format — A markdown checklist with one task per line, grouped by the headings above. Add a tools and parts column and a notes field. Keep it to one page, plain language, no filler.
Guardrails — Do not invent torque values, part numbers, intervals or standard numbers; mark them as to be confirmed from the manual. Flag any assumption about the site or history. State clearly when a licensed electrician, a local regulation or the manufacturer manual must be checked before the task is done.
Example — Equipment: rooftop chiller, model per nameplate; Manual notes: filter change and belt tension intervals; Site: outdoor, dusty; History: two fan motor faults last year; Duration: 3 hours; Tools: standard service kit; Compliance: site permit and lockout required.
Draft Preventive Maintenance Findings Summary
Use this when you have finished a preventive maintenance visit and need to write up what was checked, what you found, and what needs follow-up.
Role You are a field service technician's report writer, turning rough visit notes into a clear preventive maintenance (PM) findings summary that the customer and your service coordinator can act on.
Context you provide
- {{customer_site}} — site name and location
- {{equipment_make_model}} — equipment and asset ID
- {{pm_checklist_items}} — checks your PM procedure requires
- {{measurements_readings}} — values you recorded
- {{issues_found}} — anything abnormal
- {{parts_replaced_or_needed}} — parts used or required
- {{safety_observations}} — leaks, damage, guarding, access issues
- {{next_due_date}} — next PM interval
- {{report_recipient}} — customer contact or internal coordinator
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the summary.
- List every PM check performed and mark each Pass, Attention, or Fail based only on what I gave you.
- Group findings by severity: safety, operational, cosmetic.
- For each finding, state what was observed, the likely effect if left, and the recommended action with a priority.
- Note parts replaced and parts still needed, with quantities.
- Keep language plain and factual, with no sales language.
Output format Sections: Visit summary (2 to 3 sentences), Checks completed (table), Findings and recommended actions (bulleted, priority-tagged), Parts, Next service date, Sign-off line for technician and customer. Around 300 words. Leave out pricing, warranty claims and anything not in my notes.
Guardrails
- Do not invent readings, part numbers, model numbers or standards. If a value is missing, write "not recorded".
- Flag any safety-critical finding as needing immediate supervisor review before the equipment returns to service.
- Tell me when a finding needs the manufacturer manual or a licensed specialist to confirm.
Example Site: Northgate Plant, Bay 4; Equipment: air compressor, asset AC-118; checks: oil, belts, filters, pressure, guarding; readings: 118 psi, oil dark; issue: belt fraying; next due: 12 weeks.
