Whenever possible, clean components and surrounding area before removal.
- Cap off openings exposed by component removal.
- Immediately seal fuel, oil, or hydraulic lines when apertures are exposed; use plastic caps or plugs to prevent loss of fluid and ingress of dirt.
- Close the open ends of oil ways exposed by component removal with tapered hardwood plugs or conspicuous plastic plugs.
- Immediately after a component is removed, place it in a suitable container; use a separate container for each component and its associated parts.
- Clean the bench and provide marking materials, labels, and containers before dismantling a component.
