This service manual provides many more illustrations than in earlier manuals. Illustrations serve as the primary source for repair procedures. These illustrations will be supplemented with text descriptions. In the previous service manuals, text was the primary source of information for repair procedures and illustrations provided support.
Repair procedures, illustrations, and the descriptive text have been arranged so that they will correspond with the way you work. This manual provides disassembled views, wherever possible, so that it will be easy to look up parts, names, and order of assembly. The text descriptions have been rewritten into simple, complete sentences.
Our goal is to help you to do your job more effectively. After using this manual for a time, please call in with your comments at 1-800-828-6860. In Canada, in order to speak to someone in French, please call 1-800-503-3222.
