This technical manual Is part of a twin concept of
service:
FOS Manuals - for reference
Technical Manuals - for actual service
The two kinds of manuals work as a team to give you
both the general background and technical details of
shop service.
Fundamentals of ServIce (FOS) Manuals cover basic
theory of operation, fundamentals of trouble shooting,
general maintenance, and basic types of failures and
their causes. FOS Manuals are for training new people
and for reference by experienced technicians.
Technical Manuals are concise service guides for a
specific machine. Technical Manuals arB on·the·job
guides containing only the vital Information needed by
an experienced technician .
Some features of this technical manual:
Table of contents at front of manual
Exploded views showing parts refatlonship
Photos showing service techniques
This technical manual was planned and written for you
- an experienced technician. Keep II In a permanent
binder in the shop where II is handy. Refer to It when-
ever in doubt about correct service procedures or
specifications.
Using the technical manual as a guide will reduce error
and costly delay. It will also assure you the best In
finished service work.
