47UOGX-Cm I 1 REMOVAL OF PARTS
While correcting a problem, try also to determine its cause
Begin work only after first learning which parts and subas-
semblies must be removed and disassembled for replace-
ment or repair. >
DISASSEMBLY
If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring many
parts to be disassembled, all parts should be disassembled
in a.way that wiii not affect their performance or external
