Disassembly

Description

Unsupported joints can fall or be dropped and cause injury.

  • Support joints while clamps are being removed.

Failure to support the joint/s while clamps are removed can result in damage to equipment.

  • Prevent joints from falling while you remove the clamps by doing any of the following:

    • Use something to support underneath the part that is coming off.

    • Disassemble the joint while it is laying down.

    • Support with lifting equipment.

If you do not test the old joint before you replace it, you can damage property or equipment.

 

Always perform a joint verification test before you replace a joint. See the Joint Verification section in the Service Manual for more information.
