HOW TO LOCATE REPAIR PARTS.
a.
When National Stock Number or Part Number is NOT Known.
(1) First.
Using the table of contents, determine the assembly group or
subassembly group to which the item belongs.
This is necessary since
figures are prepared for assembly groups and subassembly groups, and
listings are divided into the same groups.
(2) Second.
Find the figure covering the assembly group or subassembly
group to which the item belongs.
(3) Third.
Identify the item on the figure and note the item number.
(4) Fourth.
Refer to the Repair Parts List for the figure to find the
part number for the item number noted on the figure.
(5) Fifth.
Refer to the Part Number Index to find the NSN, if assigned.
b. When National Stock Number or Part Number is Known:

Using the Index of National Stock Numbers and Part Numbers,
find the pertinent National Stock Number or Part Number. The NSN
index is in National Item Identification Number (NIIN) sequence
(see4a(1)).
The part numbers in the Part Number index are listed
in ascending alphanumeric sequence (see paragraph 4b). Both indexes
cross-reference you to the illustration figure and item number of
the item you are looking for.
(2) Second. After finding the figure and item number, verify that
the item is the one you are looking for, then locate the item munber
in the repair parts list for the figure.
