3.4.3.2.1.2 Tasks. All tasks within a function shall relate to that function (see igure 4). Procedural steps
that do not establish item location shall not be supported by illustrated details, e.g., "measure and record
ambient temperature". Print media requirements: Tasks shall begin on a left hand page. See igure 3.
3.4.3.2.1.2.1 Text. The following guidance is provided for special situations:
a. Instructions of a speciic nature for installation of standard hardware shall be provided if required.
b. If a typical set of instructions is prepared, the function shall be identiied as "typical". The
equipment to which the typical function applies shall be identiied, e.g., left and right side
mounted main landing gear actuator valves, hydraulic pump removal (typical).
c. When required, a repeated task or sequence of tasks shall be provided in detail and shall not
contain circular references to previous steps or procedures in the same task, other tasks, or other
publications. For repeated sequences, instructions shall be provided for repeating the applicable
task and action to take when the repeated sequence is completed.
d. Print media requirements: A multi-page task such as operation, checkout, adjustment, lubrication,
etc., that must be supported by a foldout illustration, shall begin on a left-hand page and page
continue on the right and left-hand pages as necessary to conclude the task.
1. If required, repeated task shall be used when the following conditions are met:
(a) The task does not involve danger to the technician or equipment.
(b) The sequence of steps within the task is exactly the same.
(c) Not more than two tasks intervene between the irst and subsequent use of the task.
(d) No dimensional tolerance information is required.
2. Repeated sequence of tasks shall be used, as required, when the following conditions are met:
(a) Two or more tasks are repeated in sequence.
(b) Reference information used applies to each repeat.
(c) Tasks are identical for different but related control or display.
e. Special instructions shall follow the appropriate task step. For example:
ADJUSTMENT OF ANTENNA GUY CABLE

Safety wire left-hand turnbuckle.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION. Using 0.032 safety wire, safety wire turnbuckle to
ensure force is applied in a direction that maintains cable tension.
14.
Safety wire right-hand turnbuckle.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTION. Using 0.032 safety wire, safety wire turnbuckle to
ensure force is applied in a direction that maintains cable tension.

requirement: To conserve space follow on maintenance reference information may be listed on the same
page and immediately following the last task text, space permitting.
3.4.3.2.1.3 Illustrations. Illustrations shall convey location and, if applicable, dimensional data with
tolerance information see ig 10. Illustrations shall be applicable only to the tasks being performed, plus
suficient surrounding detail to allow a technician to locate the equipment. The level of detail shall progress
from general to speciic on each illustration. For example: a general locator detail shall precede a view which
relates the speciic LRU location to overall end item. Line drawings shall be used. Switches, knobs, controls,
etc., shall be shown in the normal or off position. Appropriate details shall be indicated using callouts with
identiication numbers keyed to the task step number directing the action, e.g., callout number 1 and the irst
