DA Form 2404
WP 0048
GENERAL
In addition to performing normal Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) (WP 0048), clean and
lubricate equipment more often to compensate for extremes of temperature, humidity, and terrain conditions
that are present or expected. Cleaned and lubricated equipment ensures proper operation and guards against
excessive wear and failure.
When equipment constantly breaks down due to operating under extreme conditions, report failure(s) using
DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet).
STORAGE OF SCISSORING BRIDGE
CAUTION
DO NOT store the bridge in a standing inverted “A” position. Bridge may collapse or fall
resulting in damage to bridge.
NOTE
The removal of the bridge for lesser periods or time of storage should be at the discretion
of the unit/battalion commander.
1. When vehicle is not needed for extended period (60 days or longer), remove scissoring bridge and store in
extended position in suitable f at-surfaced area. If storage space is at premium, bridge may be stored in
folded position with cribbing.
2. Exercise hydraulic system monthly as required by PMCS. Refer to WP 0048.
