Component removal

Whenever possible, clean components and surrounding area before removal.

• Cap off openings exposed by component removal.
• Immediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when apertures are exposed; use plastic caps or plugs to prevent loss of fluid and ingress of dirt.
• Close the open ends of oil ways exposed by component removal with tapered hardwood plugs or conspicuous plastic plugs.
• Immediately after a component is removed, place it in a suitable container; use a separate container for each component and its associated parts.
• Clean bench and provide marking materials, labels and containers before dismantling a component.
