(1) First. Using the table of contents, determine the functional group or subfunctional group to

which the item belongs. This is necessary since figures are prepared for functional groups and

subfunctional groups, and listings are divided into the same groups.

(2) Second. Find the figure covering the functional group or subfunctional group to which the

item belongs.

(3) Third. Identify the item on the figure and note the item number of the item.

(4) Fourth. Refer to the Repair Parts List for the figure to find the line item entry for the item

number noted on the figure.

National stock number or part number. The NSN index is in National Item Identification Number

sequence. Both indexes cross-reference you to the illustration figure and item number of the item you

are looking for.
