This  service  manual  provides  specifications  in  both  Metric 

(SI) 

and 

U.S. 

Customary  systems  of  measurement.  The  first 

specification 

is 

given  in  the  measuring  system  perceived  by  us  to  be  the  preferred  system  when  servicing  a  particular 

c

o

t, 

while the second specification (given in parenthesis) is the converted measurement.  For instance,  a specifica­

t

ion of 

"0.28 

mm 

(0.011 

inch)"  would indicate that  we  feel the  preferred  measurement  is  the  metric  system  of  measure­
