Component Removal and Replacement

This documentation guides users through removal and replacement of the primary components of the ROV. These components are categorized as requiring Novice, Intermediate or Advanced knowledge and skills, and versions of this document have been created to include only up to one of these levels. At the Advanced level, all Intermediate and Novice components are included, so all three versions are not needed to have the full set. This Novice version is included with product documentation. The Intermediate and Advanced versions are included with the appropriate training courses.

The instructions for each component consist of two sections:

1. Removal

2. Replacement

Each section consists of:

1. A one page overview that includes

1. Skill level requirement

2. Estimated time to complete the overall removal or replacement process

3. A list of the tools required

4. A list of the other components that need to be removed/replaced

2. Pages that outline the steps for each component that needs to be removed or replaced that include

1. Skill level requirement for the specific component

2. Estimated time to complete the steps for the specific component

3. A list of the tools required for the specific component

4. A detailed list of parts that are considered part of the specific component, such as screws, washers, and/or other miscellaneous hardware items.

In addition, there are two support pages for each component:

1. Click on the menu item: "Comprehensive Parts List," for a page that lists all of the parts that have to be removed or replaced for the specific component and all of the associated components that must be removed or replaced.

2. Click on the menu item: "Printable View," to display the removal and replacement instructions for the component of interest on a single page for easier printing.

You can navigate the document using the menu, or the "Next," "Previous" and "Up" buttons.

When you move your mouse over a tool or part name, an image preview is displayed. If you click on the name, a larger image will display in a separate window. You can adjust the size and transparency of the previews, or turn them off. See the instructions for modifying the image preview settings. If the preview is turned off, you can still click on the name to bring up the larger image.
