GENERAL REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
Work Required.
a.
Remove parts if replacement is required. Do not disassemble a component any further than needed.
Preparation.

Before removal of any electrical, hydraulic, or air system components, ensure system component is not
energized or pressurized. Disconnect battery ground cables. Relieve air system pressure before removal of
fasteners (e.g., nuts, locknuts, etc.). Remove any paint on threads to prevent binding of fasteners.

To ease assembly and installation, tag and mark shims, connectors, wires, and mating end of lines before
disconnecting them. Identify similar parts to ensure correct assembly.
Position of Valves.

Before removing valve handles, mark or diagram their position when open and closed. This will help during
assembly.
Location.
e.
Before removing cable ties, cushion clamps, hoses, tubing, wire, etc., note the location, position, and routing
of each to ensure correct assembly.
