4.1  Overview
This chapter describes the procedures for disassembling and assembling the 
main components of the scanner GT-30000. (Refer to A3 Auto Document 
Feeders service manual for detail on the disassembly and assembly 
procedures for the ADF.)
Except where indicated separately, all procedures for re-assembling the 
disassembled assemblies and components should be carried out by following 
the disassembly procedures in reverse.
Sections which may result in injury or risk to life if proper care is not taken are 
indicated by a WARNING symbol.
Sections where particular care should be taken beforehand during disassembly 
or assembly are indicated by a CAUTION symbol.
Tips designed to assist with disassembly are indicated by a CHECK POINT 
symbol.
If the assembly procedure differs from the reverse of the disassembly 
procedure, the steps which are different are indicated by a RE-ASSEMBLY 
symbol.
Furthermore, if adjustment is required as a result of disassembly, the 
adjustment steps are indicated by an ADJUSTMENT symbol.
If disassembly of assemblies or components which are not mentioned in this 
chapter are required, please refer to the separate general disassembly 
diagram.
Be sure to read the Points to Note on the next page before starting any
