TYPES OF SYMBOLS

Two types of symbols are used in the inspection trees. Below is a sample with both symbols.

Legend to Example Above

Flow lines show the branch you will follow in the inspection tree. When a

question is asked, the branches will be labeled "YES" or "NO". You will

answer the question and follow that branch.

Branch labels identify branches which go to another page. When you go

to the new page, check to be sure it has the same label. Begin the new

TASK REFERENCES

page at the branch label and continue with the inspection tree.

Many blocks in an inspection tree tell you to perform a task or a task element.

In every case, the step

will tell you the task title and the page where it begins.

Below is a semple inspection tree block with a

task reference

When you come to a corrective action block, you will record the necessary information on DA FORM

2404. Later, the inspection tree will tell you to perform all corrective actions. At that time you will

perform the task REPAIR CROSS SHAFT ASSEMBLY on page 4-464.

If a step directs you to perform a task or task element, go to that task. Do all of the task or task

element that is required. Then return to the first task and continue with the next step. Do NOT skip

any steps unless they have already been done or you are directed to go to END OF TASK. If you are

at END OF TASK, return to the first task and continue with the next step.

If you must perform a task element, such as INSTALL DISCONNECT CLUTCH, go to the task

REPLACE DISCONNECT CLUTCH on page 4-52. Find the block INSTALL. Begin with the first

step after the INSTALL block and perform all steps in that task element.
