Forward Repair
System
NSN Correction
Get out your pencil if you use the
Forward Repair System (FRS). The
3-valve manifold (Item 1 in Fig 216 of
TM 9-4940-568-24P) should have an
NSN of 4820-01-559-598
4
. NSN 4820-
01-559-598
3
is actually for the 5-valve
manifold, which is Item 1 in Fig 217.
The TM has been updated on the ETM
site with the correct info

8454 and the PN from 12283412 to PN 9377768. For the improved elevation servo, listed as Item
13 in WP 0027, change the NSN from 1015-01-122-9401 to NSN 1015-01-391-8457 and the PN
from 12283102 to PN 9377770.
it’s
good

you,
joe!
