a.
These general maintenance instructions contain general shop practices and specific methods you
must be familiar with to properly maintain the equipment. You should read and understand these
practices and methods before performing any maintenance procedures.
b.
Before beginning a task, find out how much repair, modification, or replacement is needed to fix the
equipment. Sometimes the reason for equipment failure can be seen right away and complete tear
down is not necessary. Disassemble equipment only as far as necessary to repair or replace
damaged parts.
c.
In some cases, a part may be damaged during removal. If the part appears to be good, and other
parts behind it are not defective, leave it in place and continue with the procedure. Here are a few
simple rules:
(1)
Do not remove dowel pins or studs unless loose, bent, broken, or otherwise damaged.
(2)
Do not remove bearings or bushings unless damaged. If you need to remove them to access
parts behind, carefully pull out bearings and bushings.
(3)
Replace all gaskets, lockwashers, self-locking nuts, seals, cotter pins, and preformed
packings.
