Foreword, continued
The instructor will co-ordinate the text with the equipment and arrange the work to fit his par- ticular class. Any points which might offer dif- ficulty should be demonstrated and clarified by the Instructor. Disassembly and reassembly and maintenance procedure should be demonstrated and followed through to see that the students are do- ing the work correctly. This same procedure should also be used in calibration.
It should be stressed that the equipment is precision made and that proper handling and lub- rication are very essential. Instructions given in the manual for handling and lubrication should be strictly followed, unless local conditions war- rant a change of instructions concerning lubricat- ion.
A good maintenance man will not tinker with the equipment. As long as the equipment functions properly, there is no need to disassemble or to tinker. However, keep the unit clean, dry and properly lubricated. PREFLIGHT CHECKS AND INSPECT- IONS WILL BE MADE WHEN DUE, AND ANY MALFUNCTIONS CORRECTED. KNOW WHAT TO DO; KNOW HOW TO DO IT; KNOW WHEN TO DO IT, AND THEN DO IT.
Good maintenance men will always be in demand. Thorough training will provide the confidence nec- essary for good maintenance.
