Safety
Refer to the Safety section before performing any procedures on a vehicle.
Sections
This service manual is organized into chapters, sections and topics. Each section is laid out in the following manner:
Topics
The purpose of the Prepare topics is to to provide an outline of procedures required before beginning a specific task. Links to the necessary procedures are provided in the topic.
The Remove and Install topics allow the technician to only remove and install the component - which may be all that is required. If a component can be repaired, Disassemble, Assemble and Clean/Inspect topics are provided as appropriate.
Complete topics provide a list of procedures that need to be performed to return the vehicle to ride-ready condition. If additional removal procedures need to be performed, move to the next section without performing the Complete topics in the current section.
Procedural Steps
Each topic contains steps to complete the procedure. These steps are laid out in numeric and alpha steps.
The purpose of the numeric steps is to provide the experienced technician with high-level information to complete the procedure.
The alpha steps provide a less-experienced technician with step-by-step instructions to perform the procedure.
