Notice: Anti-corrosion compounds have been applied to the interior surfaces
of some metal panels to provide rust resistance. When servicing these panels
in areas on which this material has been disturbed, or when installing new
panels, avoid corrosion damage by coating with anti-corrosion compound.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
