References

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.
