TM    5-5420-209-12 During  PMCS,  ensure  that  all  components  and  assemblies  are  correctly  installed.  Incorrect installation  may  cause  additional  equipment  damage  or  failure. NOTE This  PMCS  use  the  one-look  format,  beginning  with  the  Roadside  Bow  Ponton  (RBP)  as viewed from the rear of transporter, clockwise. Remove  rust  and  accumulated  corrosion  during  PMCS.  Corrosion  not  removed  promptly  will degrade  equipment  performance. Refer  to  Section  III  and  LO  5-5420-209-12  for  lubrication  of  Ribbon  Bridge  items. Inspect  all  associated  components  on  each  item  for  structural  damage  and  loose,  broken  or  mis- sing  hardware. Notify  Unit  Maintenance  when  noting  any  deficiency  you  are  not  authorized  to  correct. Table  2-11. Operator  Preventive  Maintenance  Checks  and  Services  (PMCS)  for  the  Ramp  Bay.
