What is the first step in deactivating a LOFR?

The first step in deactivating a LOFR (Lube, Oil, Filter, and Repair) is searching for the unit in USG (Unit Service Guide). This action is essential because it allows you to access the specific details and history related to the particular unit you are dealing with. By locating the unit in the system, you ensure that you are working with the correct information and context needed for the deactivation process.

Searching for the unit first provides a clear overview of its status, previous maintenance records, and any outstanding issues that may need to be addressed. This foundational step helps in avoiding any potential errors that could arise from attempting to deactivate a LOFR without knowing the unit's current status or history. It sets the stage for the subsequent steps, which involve updating the system with necessary information such as the repair order, mileage, and employee details.
