Trustmark Authoring Standards (TAS) Removal and Installation Procedures

NOTE: TAS style procedures can be identified by steps that have no accompanying step text and the magenta color of the electrical connectors and fasteners such as nuts, bolts, clamps or clips.

A TAS removal and installation procedure uses a sequence of color illustrations to indicate the order to be followed when removing/disassembling or installing/assembling a component.

Many of the TAS procedures will have the installation information within the removal steps. These procedures will have the following note at the beginning of the procedure:

NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.

Items such as O-ring seals, gaskets, seals, self-locking nuts and bolts are to be discarded and new components installed unless otherwise stated within the procedure. Coated nuts or bolts are to be reused, unless damaged or otherwise stated within the procedure.

Specification procedures will contain all technical data that are not part of a repair procedure.

Colors used in the graphic are as follows:

• Blue - Indicates the target item, item to be removed/installed or disassembled/assembled
• Green and Brown - Indicates a secondary item that needs to be detached, removed/installed or disassembled/assembled prior to the target item
• Magenta - Indicates electrical connectors and fasteners such as nuts, bolts, clamps or clips
• Pale Blue - is for the special tool(s) and general equipment.

There may be multiple steps assigned to one illustration.
