HOW TO USE THIS TECHNICAL MANUAL (TM) (Contd)

TM 9-2815-225-34&P

FORMAT

Work Package (WP) Format

Each chapter in this TM is divided into WPs, which group data into stand-alone informational or task-

oriented units. Here are some important things to know about the WP format:

•

Each WP has its own identification number, which appears in the upper right corner of each page.

WPs are numbered sequentially throughout the manual.

•

Each WP starts with page number 1. Page numbers appear at the bottom of the pages, following

the WP number.

•

Informational WPs begin with a listing of the specific topics covered, in the order in which they

appear in the WP. This listing provides a quick overview of each WP and enables you to locate

specific information easily.

•

Each task-oriented WP begins with an Initial Setup list that identifies all tools, mandatory

replacement parts, personnel, and other materials needed to complete the procedure in the WP.

Before you begin a procedure, review the Initial Setup information to ensure that all requirements

have been met.

•

Task-oriented WPs (maintenance procedures) appear in the manual in the order of logical work

sequence. This format makes the TM easy to follow and helps improve efficiency as you progress

through the procedures.

Text and Illustration Modular Layout

Throughout this TM, maintenance procedures are set up in two-page modular layouts. This means that

illustrations appear either on the same page as, or on the page facing, the step you are performing.

This feature eliminates the need to search for illustrations that correlate with each procedural step.

In addition, procedural text is cross-referenced to numerical callouts in the illustrations, helping you

immediately identify and locate specific parts mentioned. Callout numbers referencing the illustrations

appear in parentheses in the text.
