CAUTION:
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.

Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
