Note. - Direct particular attention to the aisle end of the tube at the side arm attaching bolt hole.

2. Except as provided in Paragraph 3 below, replace all cracked tubes with serviceable units. Until cracked tubes are replaced, placard or otherwise mark the seat position adjacent to the cracked stretcher tube end as unusable and not to be occupied.

3. Stretcher tubes with cracks less than 1.19 inches, measured along the longitudinal axis from the centerline of the attach hole, may be repaired withclamp P/N 81672-1, in accordance with installation instructions in UOP, Inc., Service Bulletin 25-634, dated April 3, 1980.
