GENERAL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (Contd)

ASSEMBLY

Cleanliness is essential in all component assembly operations. Dust and dirt, even in minute quantities,

are abrasive. Parts must be kept clean. See individual WPs for specific assembly instructions.

Replace any part that does not pass visual inspection or that is outside specified wear limits listed in the

maintenance WPs.

Follow WP instructions for coating bearings, bushings, gears, shafts, seals, friction parts, and other

contact surfaces with operating oil (engine oil for engine parts, etc.) to ensure lubrication of parts during

initial operation after repair.

Seal handling:

1.

Do not open seal packets until ready to install seal. Seals may become contaminated with dust or

dirt. Some types of seals can absorb moisture, which may cause damage during installation and/or

shorten the lifespan of the seals.

2.

Ensure lip-type seals are installed so spring-loaded lip faces toward lubricant. Tighten all capscrews,

screws, bolts, nuts, and fittings to torque values specified in maintenance WPs and in WP 0053 00.

For parts identification, refer to WP 0058 00.
