| A.Damage | No damage permitted | If you find some damage, replace the door latch. (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-19-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-19-400-001). |
| B.Leakage | No leakage permitted | If you find any leakage, examine the supply pipes for the the correct torque (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-49-400-042), (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-49-400-043), (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-49-400-044) and (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-49-400-045). |
| | | If leakage continues replace the latch (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-19-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-19-400-001). |
| 2.Examine the latch hook for: | | |
| A.Damage | No damage permitted | If you find some damage, replace the blocker door latch (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-19-000-001) and (Ref. AMM TASK 78-31-19-400-001). |

| A.Damage | No damage permitted | If you find some damage, replace the defective part (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-000-003) and (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-400-003). |
| B.Jamming | The roller must be free to turn | If the roller is not free, remove it (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-000-003) and reinstall it (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-400-003). |
| C.Lubrication | The roller axis must be lubricated | If the roller axis is dry without lubrication, remove the roller (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-000-003), lubricate the axis and install (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-400-003). |
| 4.Examine the parts that attach the latch fitting and roller, look for: | | |
| A.Loose fastener | None permitted | If you find a loose fastener, re-torque the part (Ref. AMM TASK 78-32-41-400-003). |
