GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.
During disassembly, remove only as many parts or components as required for indicated repair. Complete
disassembly of a component is not always required to make repairs. Good judgment should be used to keep
disassembly operations to a minimum.
2.
During disassembly, tag critical parts to ensure proper reassembly. Mark mating parts by scribe marks or indelible
ink to be certain of correct positioning at assembly.
3.
Unserviceable or unrepairable assemblies will be broken down into items of issue, and serviceable parts will be
returned to stock Parts or assemblies that cannot be repaired, selective fitted, or reclaimed to standards contained
in this manual will be salvaged and replaced with new parts.
4.
If a required new part is not available, reconditioning of the old part is necessary. Such parts should be inspected
carefully after reconditioning to determine their suitability and probable service life. Replacement parts should be
requisitioned immediately.
5.
Replace seals and gaskets of all components that were disassembled.
6.
Replace springs if broken, distorted, or cracked or if they do not conform to specific tensile standards.
