GENERAL. a.  These  general  maintenance  instructions  contain  general  shop  practices  and  specific  methods  you  must  be familiar with to properly maintain the M544E Forklift Truck. You should read and understand these practices and methods before performing any Direct Support or General Support Maintenance procedures. b. Before beginning a task, find out how much repair, modification, or replacement is needed to fix the equipment. Sometimes   the   reason   for   equipment   failure   can   be   seen   right   away   and   complete   teardown   is   not   necessary. Disassemble equipment only as far as necessary to repair or replace damaged parts. c. In some cases, a part may be damaged during removal. If the part appears to be good, and other parts behind it are not defective, leave it in place and continue with the procedure. Here are a few simple rules: (1) Do not remove dowel pins or studs unless loose, bent, broken, or otherwise damaged. (2)  Do  not  remove  bearings  or  bushings  unless  damaged.  if  you  need  to  remove  them  to  access  parts  behind, carefully pull out bearings and bushings. (3) Replace all gaskets, lockwashers, locknuts, seals, cotter pins, and preformed packings. 2-2
