How to Locate Information
Even if you have read the manual completely and thoroughly, the easiest and quick-
est way to locate information is by using the Table of Contents. In addition to the
complete Table of Contents in the front of the manual, each Chapter has its own
Table of Contents and List of Illustrations.
(1) Table of Contents
The complete Table of Contents is only five pages long 9 Even if the user has
no idea where a certain bit of information is located, the general location
can be quickly found by running through the Table of Contents. For example,
some adjustment information is needed.
A quick look at the Table of Contents
indicates that “Adjustment/Test” information is located in Chapter/Section 2-3
(Chapter 2, Section 3).
If the specific adjustment being sought is not listed
in the main Table of Contents, turn to Chapter 2 and look in its Table of Con-
tents under “Adiustment/Test” where each adjustment is listed with the page
number location.
, (2) List of Illustrations
A complete List of Illustrations follows the Table of Contents and includes the
title, figure number, and Chapter/Section, with page number location of all
illustrations contained in the manual.
Locate the appropriate title in the
List of Illustrations, then turn to the Chapter/Section and page number indicated.
It should be noted here that ALL electrical connection diagrams are located
in Chapter 5, Repair.
(3) References
To avoid repetition and lengthy explanations, references to other material are
used throughout the manual. Both material in the text and illustrations may be
referred to in order to clarify or expand information and instructions. Portions
of the text are referred to by identifying the paragraph in which referenced
material may be found. A reference to other material would be in order right
here by referring to paragraphing information contained in paragraph 5, A
