PRECAUTIONS
Disassembly
It is assumed in the detailed disassembly instructions that the lubricant has been drained from transmission,
the necessary linkage and air lines disconnected and the transmission has been removed from vehicle chassis.
Removal of the gear shift lever housing assembly (or remote control assembly) is included in the detailed in-
structions (Disassembly and ReassemblyShifting Controls); however, this assembly MUST be detached from
shift bar housing before transmission can be removed.

Inspection
Before reassembling the transmission, check each part carefully for abnormal or excessive wear and damage to
determine reuse or replacement. When replacement is necessary, use only genuine Fuller Transmission parts to
assure continued performance and extended life from your unit.
Since the cost of a new part is generally a small fraction of the total cost of downtime and labor, avoid reus-
ing a questionable part which could lead to additional repairs and expense soon after initial reassembly. To aid
in determining the reuse or replacement of any transmission part, consideration should also be given to the
units history, mileage, application, etc.
Recommended inspection procedures are provided in the following checklist.

PRECAUTIONS
Reassembly
Make sure that interiors of case and housings are clean. It is important that dirt and other foreign materials be
kept out of the transmission during reassembly. Dirt is an abrasive and can damage polished surfaces of
bearings and washers. Use certain precautions, as listed below, during reassembly.
