DUAL DIMENSIONS
This service manual provides specifications in both Metric (SI) and U.S. Customary systems of measurement. The first
specification is given in the measuring system perceived by us to be the preferred system when servicing a particular
component, while the second specification (given in parenthesis) is the converted measurement. For instance, a specifica
tion of "0.28 mm (0.011 inch)" would indicate that we feel the preferred measurement is the metric system of measure
ment and the U.S. Customary equivalent of 0.28 mm is 0.011.
