6. How to Locate Repair Parts
a. When National Stock Number or Part Number is not Known:
(7) First. Using the table of contents, determine the assembly group or subassembly group to which the item
belongs. This is necassary since figures prepared for assembly groups, subassembly groups and listings are divided
into the same groups.
(2) Second. Find figure covering the assembly or subassembly group to which the item belongs.
(3) Third. Identify the item on the figure and use the Figure and Item Number Index to find the NSN.
b. When National Stock Number or Part Number is Known:
(1) First. Using the National Stock Number or the Part Number Index, find the pertinent National Stock Number
or Part Number. The NSN index is in National Item Identification Number (NIIN) sequence (see 4.1(1)). The part
numbers in the Part Number Index are listed in ascending alphanumeric sequence (see 4.b). Both indexes cross-
reference you to the illustration/figure and item number of the item you are looking for.
(2) Second. Turn to the figure and item number and verify the item is the one you’re looking for. Then locate
the item number in the repair parts list for the figure.
