Chapter 2 gives instructions for disassembly of the generator. However,

the generator should not be taken apart beyond the point needed to repair or re-

place parts found damaged during inspection. You must use your judgment in

following the disassembly procedures so you do only those operations that are

not working will be found as part of inspection, repair, and test procedures given

in this manual. Corrective action will be repair or replacement as authorized at

this level of maintenance.
