USING YOUR MANUAL ON THE JOB

TM 9-2520-270-34

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL (cont)

Like any tool, the best way to learn about this manual is to practice using it. Knowing how to use this

manual will save both time and energy.

WHERE DO YOU START?

Entry to a maintenance task in this manual can come from the alphabetical index, Fault Symptom

Index, or from inspection trees. The alphabetical index is used when tasks in this manual are

referenced from other manuals. The Fault Symptom Index and inspection trees are used when a

fault has been determined at Unit Maintenance.

USING THE ALPHABETiCAL INDEX TO REFERENCE A TASK

Using another manual could result in reference to a task in this manual. For example, you were

asked to find the task "Repair Cross Shaft Assembly" and were referenced to this manual. To find

where this task is located, refer to the alphabetical index at the back of this manual.

T h e index lists each task under one or more headings. The task REPAIR CROSS SHAFT

ASSEMBLY could be found:

Under `(C "

Under "S"

Cross Shaft Assembly

Shaft Assembly,

Repair, 4-464

Cross, Repair, 4-464

Under "R"

Repair

Cross Shaft Assembly, 4-464

Turn to task REPAIR CROSS SHAFT ASSEMBLY on page 4-464 of this manual.

USING THE FAULT SYMPTOM INDEX TO REFERENCE AN INSPECTION TREE

The other way to enter the manual is by receiving a DA FORM 2407 with a failed transmission from

Unit Maintenance. The form would describe one or more fault symptoms. You must use the fault

symptom to determine which inspection tree to follow. For example, the fault symptom listed on the

DA FORM 2407 that came with a failed transmission was "neutral creep."
