WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE
is used in the operation of this equipment

DEATH ON CONTACT
may result if personnel fail to observe safety precautions

Never work on electronic equipment unless there is another person nearby who is familiar with the
operation and hazards of the equipment and who is competent in administering first aid. When the
technicians are aided by operators, they must be warned about dangerous areas.

Whenever possible, the power supply to the equipment must be shut off before beginning work on the
equipment. Take particular care to ground every capacitor likely to hold a dangerous potential. When
working inside the equipment, after the power has been turned off, always ground every part before
touching it.

Be careful not to contact high–voltage connections or 115 volt ac input connections when installing or
operating this equipment.

Whenever the nature of the operation permits, keep one hand away from the equipment to reduce the
hazard of current flowing through the body.

Warning :_ Do not be misled by the term “low voltage.” Potentials as low as 50 volts may cause
death under adverse conditions.

For Artificial Respiration, refer to FM21–11.

W A R N I N G

Compressed air is dangerous and can cause serious bodily harm if protective means or methods are
not observed to prevent a chip or particle (of whatever size) from being blown into the eyes or unbroken
skin of the operator or other personnel. Compressed air shall not be used for cleaning purposes except
where reduced to less than 30 pounds per square inch gauge (30 psig) and then only with effective chip
guarding and personnel protective equipment (industrial safety glasses and full faceshield).

W A R N I N G

Trichlorotrifluoroethane, Trichloroethane and similar chemical solvents will no longer be used for
ordinary cleaning of equipment. These substances threaten public health and the environment by
destroying ozone in the earth’s upper atmosphere. Suitable nonhazardous cleaning materials will be used
instead, such as a clean cloth, water and a mild detergent.

W A R N I N G

If a circuit breaker does not stay in ON position when closed, do not attempt to close it repeatedly. That
could create an overload situation hazardous to personnel and equipment. Instead, investigate cause of
problem. Correct situation before attempting to close the breaker again.

The lithium-sulfur dioxide (Li-S02) battery used with the AN/TVS-5 contains pressurized sulfur dioxide
(S02) gas. The gas is toxic, and the battery MUST NOT be abused in anyway which may cause the battery
to rupture.

W A R N I N G

DO NOT heat, short circuit, crush, puncture, mutilate, or disassemble batteries.

W A R N I N G

DO NOT USE any battery which shows signs of damage, such as bulging, swelling, disfigurement,
brown liquid in the plastic wrap, a swollen plastic wrap, etc.

W A R N I N G

DO NOT test Li-S02 batteries for capacity.

W A R N I N G
DO NOT recharge Li-S02 batteries.

W A R N I N G
DO NOT use water to extinguish Li-S0 2 battery fires if a shock hazard exists due to high voltage
electrical equipment in the vicinity (i.e., greater than 30 volts, alternating current (at) or direct current (de)).

c
TM 11–5855–214–23&P

DO NOT use water to extinguish Li-S02 battery fires if a shock hazard exists due to high voltage
electrical equipment in the vicinity (i.e., greater than 30 volts, alternating current (ac) or direct current (dc)).

WARNING
If the battery compartment becomes hot to the touch, if you hear a hissing sound (i.e., battery venting),
or smell irritating sulfur dioxide gas, IMMEDIATELY Turn Off the equipment. Remove the equipment to a
well ventilated area or leave the area.

WARNING
DO NOT use a halon type fire extinguisher on a lithium battery fire.

WARNING
In the event of a fire, near a lithium battery (ies), rapid cooling of the battery (ies) is important. Use a
carbon dioxide (C02) extinguisher. Control of the equipment fire, and cooling, may prevent the battery from
venting and potentially exposing lithium metal. In the event that lithium metal becomes involved in fire, the
use of a graphite based Class D fire extinguisher is recommended, such as Lith–X or MET–L–X.

DO NOT store lithium batteries with other hazardous materials and keep them away from open flames
or heat.

The image intensifier assembly phosphor screens contain toxic material. If an assembly becomes
broken, be extremely careful to avoid inhalation of the phosphor screen material and do not allow it to come
in contact with the mouth or open skin wounds.

Voltages of approximately 8,000 volts exist in the image intensifier assembly when the equipment is
turned on. The image intensifier assembly normally will retain a residual high voltage charge. This charge
must be removed when the assembly has been operated outside its housing.

Section Ill. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

1–10. System Functioning mation of ranges to targets and to establish aiming

The sight consists of an objective assembly, image in-
tensifier tube, battery housing and an eyepiece
assembly that combine to amplify nightlight to permit
viewing of objects that otherwise would be invisible or
too dimly lighted for aimed fire of weapons. A lighted
reticle is incorporated into the system to permit esti-
points for firing at those ranges.
1-11. Optical Functioning
Optical functioning of the sight is shown schematically
in figure 1-1. Functioning of optical components is de-
scribed below.

1–2

Figure 1–1. Optical schematic diagram
a. Objective Lens. The objective lens assembly col-
lects available light reflected from the scene in the
field of view and focuses the light on the cathode of
the image intensifier tube. The light path is reflected
internally by mirrors to overcome the blank spot in the
center of the objective assembly created by the reticle
projector assembly. As the objective lens assembly is
stationary, focusing of the object in view is accom-
plished by varying the position of the image intensifier
tube with respect to the lenses.
b. Image Intensifier Tube. The tube receives light in
the form of luminous energy. The signal is amplified
and projected onto the screen of the tube where it is re-
ceived by the eyepiece assembly as an intensified
image. The tube contains an automatic gain control
that provides a steady state of image brightness under
changing light conditions. There is a bright source pro-
tection feature that protects the tube when exposed to a
sudden increase in high light level such as caused by a
muzzle flash.
CAUTION
Prolonged operation of the sight under day-
light conditions without the daylight cover
will damage the intensifier tube assembly.
c. Eyepiece Assembly. The assembly magnifies the
image displayed on the screen of the tube and focuses
the image to the user’s eye. The assembly is adjustable
over a range from +3 to -6 diopters to accommodate
differences in user eyesight.
d. Reticle Projector. The reticle projector assembly
is located in the center of the objective assembly. It
TM 11-5855-214-23&P
projects a reticle pattern on the cathode of the tube
where it is combined with the viewed scene and be-
comes a part of the sight picture.
1–12. Power Source
Power for the image intensifier tube and reticle projec-
tor assembly is provided either by a single BA-5567/U
3.0 volt battery or by two BA-3058/U 1.5 volt batter-
ies. When used, the 1.5 volt batteries are connected in
series by Battery Adapter Assembly.
CAUTION
Batteries must be removed when the sight
is not being used to prevent accidental op-
eration.
1–13. Electrical Functioning
a. The SYSTEM BRIGHTNESS ON-OFF switch is
the master control for the sight. When switched to the
ON position, it provides power to the image intensifier
tube and switch S1. When S1 is placed in the ON posi-
tion, power is applied to the light emitting diode in the
reticle projector assembly.
,
b. Brightness of the image displayed on the screen
of the tube is controlled by adjusting R2. Brightness of
the reticle pattern projected on the cathode of the tube
is controlled by adjusting R1.
c. When the SYSTEM BRIGHTNESS control is
placed in the OFF position, all power is removed from
the sight.

Figure 2-1. Shading
a. Shading. The viewed image should present a per-
fect circle. If shading is present, you will not see a fully
circular image (see Fig. 2-1 ). When shading occurs you
will see a faded image. Shading always begins on the
edge and moves inward. If shading is present, the sight
must be returned to higher level maintenance.

light. If the image intensifier is displaying edge glow, the
bright area will still show up. If edge glow is present, the
sight must be returned to higher level of maintenance.
Figure 2-3. Bright Spots Black Spots and Streaks.
C. Bright spots. These are cosmetics defects in the
image intensifier. A bright spot is a small, nonuniform,
bright area that may flicker or appear constant (fig. 2-3).
Not all bright spots make the sight unacceptable. Bright
spots are acceptable if they do not interfere with the abil-
ity to perform the mission. If bright spot do interfere,
send the sight to a higher level of maintenance for
evaluation.
d. Flashing, Flickering, or Intermittent Opera-
tion. The image may appear to flicker or flash. Flashing
or flickering may result from improper connections, in-
termittent power source, or low battery. Check battery or
power source, if condition continues, refer to higher
level maintenance.
e. Black Spots or Streaks. These are inherent
manufacturing characteristics in the image intensifier or
dirt or debris between the lens. Black spots or streaks
(fig. 2-3) are acceptable as long as they do not interfere
with viewing the image. No action is required if this
condition is present unless the spots or streaks interfere
with the images being viewer. If the condition contin-
ues, refer to higher maintenance.

TS-4348/UV

NOTE

Before using the TS-4348/UV test set, refer to

Figure 2-4. Fixed-Pattern Noise.
f. Fixed-Pattern Noise (Honeycomb). This is usually
a cosmetic blemish in the image area characterized by a
faint hexagonal (honeycomb) pattern throughout the
viewing area that most often occurs at high-light or when
viewing very bright lights (fig. 2-4). This pattern can be
seen in every image intensifier if the light level is high
enough. This condition is acceptable as long as you can
resolve the resolution target at the high-light level. If res-
olution cannot be resolved at high light level, refer to
higher level maintenance.

plied by the test set, unit assembly fig. 2-7. If necessary,
rotate the sight in the adapter until the center of the (quar-
ter moon shape) test pattern is within the lighted area.
8. Adjust the eyepiece focus and the objective lens
focus to obtain the sharpest view of the pattern.
9. Determine the group number and element number
of the smallest pattern resolvable.
10. The sight must be able to resolve Group 4, Ele-
ment 4 under high light condition to pass the test. ,
NOTE
To successfully resolve a pattern which finds the image
intensifier acceptable for use, you must be able to distin-
guish that the three vertical bars are in a vertical position
and that the three horizontal bars are in fact horizontal.
This procedure requires you to scan left and right (for the
vertical bars) and up and down (for the horizontal bars)
as you observe the pattern.

Section IV. DIRECT SUPPORT MAINTENANCE OF SIGHT
3-9. Performing Maintenance
Direct support maintenance consists of removal and
replacement of parts of an assembly as described in
following paragraphs. Where these actions will not re-
store the item to full serviceability, refer the item to
higher category of maintenance. Workmanship must
be of a high quality to insure that the operating life of
the equipment is extended to the maximum.
NOTE
Remove batteries from sight before re-
moving an assembly for maintenance.
3-10. Removal, Repair and Replacement
of Major Components
The eyepiece assembly, image intensifier, and objec-
tive assembly are replaceable components.
Removal/replacement procedures also involve certain
other parts (that is, split lockrings) which are replace-
able if defective.
a. Removal of Eyepiece Assembly. The eyepiece as-
sembly (fig. C-4) is removed if troubleshooting
procedures indicate a malfunction in the tube or opti-
cal system. Removal procedures are as follows:
(1) Remove eyeguard ( 11, fig. C-3) by grasping it
firmly where it joins eyepiece and turning counter-
clockwise until removed. Note the eyeguard will
rotate freely without unscrewing from the eyepiece
unless grasped firmly to apply pressure against the
inner race.
(2) Loosen sockethead screw (6, fig. C-4) on the
objective focus stop ring (5) and remove ring from
eyepiece assembly.
(3) Grasp the objective focus ring (7) firmly and
turn counterclockwise until free of threads on battery
housing.
TM 11-5855-214-23&P
WARNING
The image intensifier assembly phosphor
screens contain toxic materials. If an as-
sembly becomes broken, be extremely
careful to avoid inhalation of the phosphor
screen material arid do not allow it to come
in contact with the mouth or open skin
wounds.
Voltages of approximately 8,000 volts ex-
ist in the image intensifier assembly when
the equipment is turned off. The image in-
tensifier assembly normally will retain a
residual high voltage charge. This charge
must be removed when the assembly has
been operated outside its housing.
CAUTION
Do not twist the eyepiece assembly when
removing from battery housing because
the tube is guided by a pin and groove in-
side the housing. Pull it straight out.
(4) Carefully slide eyepiece assembly (10, fig.
C-3) with image intensifier tube attached, to the rear
until completely removed from housing.
(5) Loosen four setscrews (9, fig. C-3) from the
two split lockrings (8) and push segments sideways to
check that they are free.
(6) Grip the eyepiece assembly (10) firmly and
unscrew the tube counterclockwise.
(7) Remove split lockrings (8) from tube.
b. Repair of Eyepiece Assembly. Direct support
maintenance personnel are not authorized to replace
or repair the eyepiece cell or housings. However, all
components of the eyepiece assembly are shown in
figure C-4 for reference purposes. Components au-
thorized to be replaced and procedures are as follows:
(1) Replace the objective focus stop ring (5) if
broken or the pin is missing. Repair it by replacing
the sockethead screw (6) if missing or if the screw
fails to tighten the ring onto the eyepiece assembly.
(2) Replace the objective focus ring (7) if dam-
aged. Repair it by replacing the machine screw (3)
and hexagonal nut (8) if missing.
(3) Replace preformed packing (1) if worn or
missing by inserting new packing in the groove on the
outside of the housing near the forward edge. A cut-
out is provided in the housing for aid in removing the
old packing. Insert a small screwdriver or pointed in-
strument in the cutout and lift out the old packing.
3-5
TM 11-5855-214-23&P
Apply a light coat of silicone grease to the packing
before installation.
c. Replacement of Eyepiece Assembly. Before re-
placing the assembly, clean and dry all optical and
mating surfaces to prevent arcing and possible dam-
age to the image intensifier tube. Use dry, lint-free
cloths and lens paper only. Replace as follows:
(1) Inspect split lockrings (8, fig. C-3) for service-
ability. Setscrews must be present and capable of
being tightened. Replace rings or setscrews as neces-
sary.
The image intensifier assembly phosphor
screens contain toxic materials. If an as-
sembly becomes broken, be extremely
careful to avoid inhalation of the phosphor
screen material arid do not allow it to come
in contact with the mouth or open skin
wounds.
Voltages of approximately 8,000 volts ex-
ist in the image intensifier assembly when
the equipment is turned off. The image in-
tensifier assembly normally will retain a
residual high voltage charge. This charge
must be removed when the assembly has
been operated outside its housing.
(2) Place split Iockrings in the groove around the
image intensifier tube (7) with the hexagonal set-
screws facing away from the threaded end of the tube.
(3) Position eyepiece assembly (10) against tube
(7) and screw tube into eyepiece until firmly seated.
(4) Tighten four setscrews (9) in split lockrings.
(5) Insert tube into battery housing (6) by aligning
the groove in the tube with the pin inside the housing
(upper right quadrant as viewed from the rear). Press
tube and eyepiece assembly into battery housing until
fully seated.
(6) Grasp objective focus ring (7, fig. C-4) and
turn it clockwise onto battery housing until the eye-
piece assembly is fully secured to the housing.
(7) Replace eyeguard ( 11, fig. C-3), install batter-
ies, turn on sight, and rotate focus ring to obtain best
image resolution at infinity. Turn off sight.
(8) Remove eyeguard and replace objective focus
stop ring (5, fig. C-4) over eyepiece until it is flush
against the focus ring. Rotate the stop ring counter-
clockwise until it comes to a stop against the focus
ring and tighten sockethead screw (6). An alternate
procedure is to adjust the focus ring for best resolu-
3-6
tion of a target at 25 meters. Turn the stop ring
clockwise until it hits the focus ring, and then tighten
the sockethead screw. Replace eyeguard.
d. Removal of Objective Assembly. The objective
assembly is removed from the sight to perform main-
tenance on the internal components of the battery
housing assembly or because troubleshooting proce-
dures indicate that the assembly itself must be
replaced. It does not have to be removed to perform
direct support maintenance. Removal procedures are
as follows:
(1) Unscrew and remove battery covers (1, fig.
C-5) to gain access to mounting screws (5, fig. C-3).
(2) Remove front screw (15) securing the mount-
ing adapter (13) to the battery housing. Heat may be
necessary to remove screw.
(3) Remove the six screws (5) that secure the ob-
jective assembly to the battery housing.
(4) Separate the objective assembly from the
housing assembly by pulling apart.
NOTE
Do not twist the assemblies while separat-
ing one from the other to avoid damage to
the diode pin and socket.
(5) Remove preformed packing (4) from the ob-
jective end of battery housing. Discard packing and
replace it with a new one upon reassembly. Lubricate
the O-ring with silicone grease.
e. Repair of Objective Assembly. Repair of the as-
sembly (fig. C-6) consists of replacement of the
reticle cap (1), preformed packing (2), diode assembly
(3, fig. C-6), and reticle cell assembly (4). Replace
items as follows:
NOTE
Reticle cell assemblies and reticle pat-
terns are illustrated and described in
TM 11-5855-214-10. Only one cell is
installed as required by the weapon upon
which the sight is to be used.
(1) Unscrew reticle cap counterclockwise and in-
spect for damage to threads or internal corrosion.
Clean interior of cap with a dry cloth.
(2) Inspect preformed packing in the bottom of
the recessed area below the threads. Replace packing
if worn or missing. Lubricate packing with silicone
grease before installation. Replace cap if necessary
with a serviceable one.

(3) Replace a defective diode assembly by unsc-
rewing it from the reticle projector assembly and
replacing with a new one.
(4) Replace reticle cells if defective or to change
reticle patterns. To replace the cell (3, fig. 3-2)
remove the reticle cap and diode and insert a small
common tool or wire into the cell so that it engages
the holes in the side of the cell. Pull the cell out of the
recess. Replace the cell by aligning the pin at the base
of the cell with the slot in the insulator housing and
pressing the cell pin first into the recess until fully
seated. Screw the diode assembly in the reticle project
assembly and replace the reticle cap.
f. Replacement of Objective Assembly. Before re-
placing, the assembly, clean and dry all optical and
nesting surfaces to prevent arcing and possible dam-
age to the intensifier tube. Proceed as follows:
(1) Lubricate a new preformed packing (4, fig.
C-3) with silicone grease and install on battery hous-
ing (6).
(2) Align holes in the objective assembly with
matching holes in battery housing and secure with six
new or serviceable screws (5). When properly
aligned, the diode pin and socket will engage. Tighten
screws to 9 ± 1 inch-pounds with a torque wrench.
(3) Inspect mounting adapter (13, C-3) and
screws (14, 15) for serviceability. Replace adapter if
Figure 3–2. Reticle cell installation
TM 11-5855-214-23&P
screw threads are worn or damaged. Replace screws if
worn or burred and apply a small amount of sealing
compound to threads. The adapter is replaced by re-
moving all screws and substituting a new adapter for
the defective part. Tighten screws to 24 ± 2 inch-
pounds with a torque wrench.
(4) Replace battery covers.
WARNING
The image intensifier assembly phosphor
screens contain toxic materials. If an as-
sembly becomes broken, be extremely
careful to avoid inhalation of the phosphor
screen material arid do not allow it to come
in contact with the mouth or open skin
wounds.
Voltages of approximately 8,000 volts ex-
ist in the image intensifier assembly when
the equipment is turned off. The image in-
tensifier assembly normally will retain a
residual high voltage charge. This charge
must be removed when the assembly has
been operated outside its housing.
g. Replacement of Image Intensifier Tube. The tube
is removed and replaced as described in a. and c.
above. It is nonreparable at direct support mainte-
nance. The only method of testing to determine if the
tube is serviceable is by substitution of a known good
tube. Defects such as loose, broken, or missing con-
3-7
TM 11-5855-214-23&P
tact pins, cracked or marred optical surfaces, or
damaged housing also require replacement of the
tube. Place dust caps (12, fig. C-3) over tube ends to
protect optical surfaces when shipping or storing
tubes separately from the sight.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to operate the tube outside
of the housing.
h. Removal, Repair and Replacement of Battery
Housing Assembly. Access to the housing assembly
(fig. C-5) is gained by removing the eyepiece assem-
bly and objective assembly as described in a. and d.
above. They are replaced as described in c. and ~
above. Repair of the housing assembly consists of re-
placement of electrical components as described
below.
(1) Electrical control knobs (7) are removed if
broken or to gain access to attaching parts of the

MAINTENANCE ALLOCATION CHART (MAC)

Section l. INTRODUCTION

B-1. The Army Maintenance System MAC

a. This introduction (Section I) provides a general explanation of all maintenance levels under the standard
Army Maintenance System concept.
b. The Maintenance Allocation Chart (MAC) in section II designates overall authority and responsibility for the
performance of maintenance functions on the identified end item or component. The application of the
maintenance functions to the end item or component will be consistent with the capacities and capabilities of the
designated maintenance levels, which are shown on the MAC in Column (4) as:
Unit – Includes 2 subcolumns, C (operator/crew) and O (unit) maintenance.
Direct Support – Includes an F subcolumn.
General Support – includes an H subcolumn.
Depot – includes a D subcolumn.
c. Section lll lists the tools and test equipment (both special tools and common tools sets) required for each
maintenance function as referenced from section II.
d. Section IV contains supplemental instructions and explanatory notes for a particular maintenance function.
B-2. Maintenance Function
Maintenance functions will be limited to and defined as follows:
a. Inspect. To determine the serviceability of an item by comparing its physical, mechanical, and/or electrical
characteristics with established standards through examination (e.g. by sight, sound, or feel).
b. Test. To verify serviceability by measuring the mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electrical characteristics
of an item and comparing those characteristics with prescribed standards.
c. Service. Operations required periodically to keep an item in proper operating condition, i.e., to clean
(includes decontaminate, when required), to preserve, to drain, to paint, or to replenish fuel, lubricants, chemical
fluids, or gases.
d. Adjust. To maintain, or regulate within prescribed limits, by bringing into proper position, or by setting the
operating characteristics to specified parameters.
e. Align. To adjust specified variable elements of an item to bring about optimum or desired performance.
f. Calibrate. To determine and cause corrections to be made or to be adjusted on instruments or test measuring,
and diagnostic equipment used in precision measurement. Consists of comparisons of two instruments, one of
which is a certified standard of known accuracy, to detect and adjust any discrepancy in the accuracy of the
instrument being compared.
g. Remove/Install. To remove and install the same item when required to perform service or other maintenance
functions. Install may be the act of emplacing, or fixing into position a spare, repair part, or module (component
or assembly) in a manner to allow the proper functioning of an equipment or system.
h. Replace. To remove an unserviceable item and install a serviceable counterpart in its place. “Replace” is
authorized by the MAC and assigned maintenance level is shown as the 3rd position of the SMR code.
i. Repair. The application of maintenance services 1 including fault location/troubleshooting,2

1. Services – Inspect, test, service, adjust, align, calibrate, and/or replace.

2. Fault location/troubleshooting – The process of investigation and detecting the cause of equipment malfunctioning; the act of isolating a
fault within a system or unit under test (UUT).

removal/installation, and disassembly/assembly3 procedures, and maintenance actions 4 to identify troubles and
restore serviceability to an item by correcting specific damage, fault, malfunction, or failure in a part,
subassembly, module (component or assembly), end item, or system.
j. Overhaul. That maintenance effort (service/action) prescribed to restore an item to a completely
serviceable/operational condition as required by maintenance standards in appropriate technical publications
(i.e., DMWR. Overhaul is normally the highest degree of maintenance performed by the Army. Overhaul does not
normally return an item to like new condition.
k. Rebuild. Consists of those services/actions necessary for the restoration of unserviceable equipment to a like
new condition in accordance with original manufacturing standards. Rebuild is the highest degree of materiel
maintenance applied to Army equipment. The rebuild operation includes the act of returning to zero those age
measurements (e.g., hours/miles) considered in classifying Army equipments/components.

and the bulk material list in section Il.
e. Associated Publications. The publications listed below pertains to the AN/TVS-5 and its components: NA
f. IIIustrations - Listing. The illustrations in this RPSTL are identical for all levels of maintenance. Only those parts
coded “C”, “O” or “F” in the third position of the SMR code are listed in the tabular listing; therefore, there may be
a break in the item number sequence, figure number and page number. Only illustrations containing organizational
or aviation unit authorized items appear in this RPSTL.
g. National Stock Numbers. National stock numbers (NSN’s) that are missing from P source coded items have
been applied for and will be added to this TM by future change/revision when they are entered in the Army Master
Data File (AMDF). Until the NSN’s are established and published, submit exception requisitions to: Commander,
US Army Communications-Electronics Command and Fort Monmouth, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-MM, Fort Monmouth,
NJ 07703-5007 for the part required to support your equipment.

C-6. 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 Lists 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.
(1) First. 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 (para 4a(1)). The part num-
bers in the part number index are listed in ascending alphanumeric sequence (para 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’re looking for, then
locate the item number in the repair parts list for the figure.
