7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The information contained in this section has been
compiled from years’ worth of information gathered
from the field. It contains symptoms and usual
causes for the most common types of problems that
may occur. All available data concerning the trouble
should be systematically analyzed before undertak-
ing any repairs or component replacement.
A visual inspection is worth performing for almost all
problems and may avoid unnecessary additional
damage to the machine. The procedures which can
be performed in the least amount of time and with the
least amount of removal or disassembly of parts,
should be performed first. Adherence to a routine
maintenance regimen will minimize the occurrence of
many common problems. Refer to
Section 6.3,
Maintenance Schedule Table
for a typical mainte-
nance regimen program.

source. Install a lock-out tag to identify
the equipment as inoperable to other
personnel to prevent accidental
application.
