1. Before beginning a task, find out how much repair, modification, or replacement is needed to fix equipment as
described in this manual. Sometimes the reason for equipment failure can be seen right away and complete
teardown is not necessary. Disassemble equipment only as far as necessary to repair or replace damaged or
broken parts.
2. All tags and forms attached to the equipment must be checked to learn the reason for removal from service.
Check all Modification Work Orders (MWOs) and Technical Bulletins (TBs) for equipment changes and
updates.
