a. General.
These general maintenance instructions contain general shop practices and specific methods you must
be familiar with to properly maintain your semitrailer. You should read and understand these practices
and methods before performing any maintenance tasks.
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 teardown
is not necessary. Disassemble equipment only as far as necessary to repair or replace damaged or
broken parts.
Resources are not listed in the initial setup unless they apply to the procedure.
All tags and forms attached to equipment must be checked to learn the reason for equipment’s removal
from service. Modification Work Orders (MWOs) and technical bulletins must also be checked for
equipment changes and updates.

behind it are not defective, leave it on and continue with the procedure. Here are a few simple rules:
