7 SPARE PARTS LIST - ISSUE IV

This Issue of the Spare Parts List has been augmented in all sections and exploded
views are included for the more complicated sub-assemblies. The tabulations are
divided into the following columns:

INDEX

Index numbers are identical with the tracer numbers shown in the
drawings and photographs.

ORDER
NUMBER

This number must be used when ordering spare parts.

PART
DESCRIPTION

In case of inexact part description due to translation errors the
german version shall be the determinant. When ordering plastic
parts with the same order number, but of slightly differing colour,
add colour code number.

SERIES

The three columns indicate in which series a particular part is
used. Parts which are not directly interchangeable between Series
are marked by the letter (x) in parentheses. They have to be
replaced by complete sub-assemblies.

QUANTITY Indicates

the

number of identical parts within the assembly.

INDEX III

Cross index with Parts List Issue III which is now cancelled.
Index III must not be used any more when ordering parts.

ALL ORDERS SHOULD STATE ORDER NUMBER AND SHORT PART
DESCRIPTION.
