HOW TO LOCATE REPAIR PARTS
When National Stock Number or Part Number is Not Known.
1. First. Using the table of contents, determine the functional group or sub-functional group to which the
item belongs. This is necessary since the figures are prepared for functional groups and sub-functional
groups, and listings are divided into the same groups.
2. Second. Find the item on the figure covering the functional group or sub-functional group to which the
item belongs.
3. Third. Identify the item on the figure and note the item number of the item.
