b.
Visual inspections are to be made before
operating the equipment or performing any functional
tests. The purpose of these inspections is to determine the
condition of the component or assembly for obvious
indications of damage. If damage is evident, corrective
action shall be taken to prevent further damage.
c.
Inspections and tests performed after the
component or assembly has been removed from the
semitrailer are to verify the original diagnosis and to
uncover further defects.
d.
Complete disassembly of a component or
assembly to determine the cause of malfunction should be
done only if the preliminary tests fail to show the trouble.
A careful inspection of the component parts should then
be made to pinpoint the problem. An analysis of the
damaged part should also be made to determine if
corrective action, other than replacing the damaged part,
can be taken to prevent recurrence of the problem.
