2. Technicians should be familiar with use, care, and limitations of the equipment. Technicians
and/or maintenance personnel SHOULD READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY.
3. Use properly trained maintenance personnel.
4. Establish a program of systematic preventative care for your equipment or put this machine on an
existing preventative maintenance program.
5. Analyze and isolate trouble before having any part of the equipment dismantled.
6. Be aware of how your machine should sound and perform. If the machine is not operating prop-

the bottom of the gibs.
