CHAPTER 1

GENERAL INFORMATION

1-1. SCOPE. This volume shows you how to do troubleshooting at the direct support and general support level of

maintenance. The amount of troubleshooting you can do is based on what the Maintenance Allocation Chart says you

can fix. Because of this, the only trouble symptoms you will find here are those that could be caused by faulty things you

can fix.

1-2. ORGANIZATION. When you find that something is wrong, write down what is wrong. Then check the fault symptom

index to see if the trouble (fault symptom) you noted is in the index. If it is, you can do troubleshooting to find the fault and

fix it.

1-3. TROUBLESHOOTING APPROACH. In order to find out what is causing the problem in the engine, you must use a

good approach. A good approach just means a way of doing troubleshooting so you can find the problem and not get

confused or lost. The following chapter describes how you can use the materials in this volume to troubleshoot with a

good approach.
