With this information, the installer understands the procedures, recognizes the significance of his actions, and avoids both errors and increased cost. Chapters 10-13 present the principles on which the installation procedures are based. With an understanding of these principles, the installer follows the procedures easily and is confident that the procedures lead to success.

Each procedure includes a troubleshooting section to assist the installer in solving problems. Finally, each procedure has a one page summary to guide the installer through the entire installation process.
