Replace main coupling 2110-AB-003A/B and 2110-AB-004A/B, the
task is performed at power on the running
pump. Pumps are regularly changed over in
accordance with the power cycle briefing
and HVAC/CNS pump change-overs.
For pumps 2110-AB-002A/B, the task is
performed at shutdown on the running
pump (refer above LTDCL pump run task).
