whether the
item is in good
condition, correctly assembled, secure,
or excessively
worn.
The
mechanics must be
thoroughly trained in
the
following explanations of
these terms:
/. The
inspection for "good condition"
is
usually
an
external
visual inspection to determine
whether or not
the unit is damaged
beyond safe
or serviceable_ limits.
The term "good
condition" is ex-
plained
further
by the following: not bent or
twisted, not
chafed or
burned,
not broken or
cracked,
not bare
or
frayed, not
dented or
collapsed,
not torn or cut.
2. The
inspection
of a unit
to
see
that it is
"correctly
assembled"
is usually
an external visual inspection to see
whether or not it is
in
its
normal assembled position
in
the vehicle.
3.
The inspection of a unit to determine if it is
"secure"
is
usually;
an
external visual examination,
a
hand-feel, or a
pry-bar check
for
looseness; such
an
inspection should
include any
brackets, lock
washers, Jock nuts, locking wires, or cotter pins used in assembly.
4.
"Excessively worn" will be understood to
mean
worn, close to
or beyond serviceable limits, and likely to
result m
a
failure if not
replaced before the next scheduled inspection.
(d) Special
Services.
These are indicated by repeating the
item
numbers
in
the columns
which
show
the
interval at which the
serv-
ices are to be
performed,
and
show
that the parts, or
assemblies, are
to receive certain mandatory services. For example, an item number
in one or both
columns opposite
a
Tighten procedure, means
that
the
actual tightening
of
the object must be performed. The special
serv-
ices include:
/.
Adjust.
Make all necessary adjustments
in
accordance
with
the
pertinent section of the vehicle operator's manual, special bi^Hetins,
or
other
current
directives.
2. Clean.
Clean units of the vehicle with dry-cleaning
solvent
to
remove excess
lubricant, dirt, and other foreign
material.
After the
parts are
cleaned,
rinse them in clean dry-cleaning solvent, and dry
them thoroughly. Take
care to keep the parts ciean
until
reassembled,
and
be
certain to keep
dry-cleaning
solvent away
from rubber or
other material
which
it will damage. Clean the protective
grease
coat-
ing
from
new parts,
since
this material is not a good lubricant.
3. Special lubrication.
This applies both to lubrication
operations
that do not appear on the
vehicle
Lubrication
Guide, and to
items
that
do appear on
such
guides, but should be performed in connec-
tion with
the maintenance
operations,
if
parts have to be disassem-
bled for
inspection or service.
4.
Serve.
This usually
consists of performing special operations,
such
as replenishing
battery
water,
and
draining and refilling units
with
oil.
