Note
The model numbers in this
manual call out "-XX-Y" for the suffix of the equipment model number. The wild
cards are defined as follows:
"X" is a number and the
one number in the model number representing a style code; form, fit, and
function are not changed, and these numbers have no bearing on
compliance.
"Y" is a letter, and the
one letter in the model number representing a pedigree; form, fit, and
function are not changed, and this letter has no bearing on
compliance.
