Built-in Parts Book
Progress in industry comes at a rapid pace. In order for the engine manufacturer
to keep pace with progress he needs a versatile product for the many models and
arrangements of accessories and mounting parts needed to suit a variety of
equipment. In addition, engine refinements and improvements are constantly
being introduced. All of this dynamic action must be documented so that the
equipment can be serviced if and when it's needed. It is fully documented in the
manufacturer's plant and in dealer Parts Departments with Master Files and
adequate supporting records. But, what about YOU the user of this equipment?
You have neither the time nor the inclination to ferret out specific part number
data. What is the answer?-It is Detroit Diesel's exclusive BUILT-IN PARTS BOOK
which is furnished with each engine. It takes the form of an "Option Plate"
mounted on the rocker cover of the engine. With it, ordering parts becomes as
simple as A, B, C. You have merely to provide the Dealer with ...
A. The "Model" number
B. The "UNIT" number C. The "TYPE" number
From that much information, the dealer with his complete records on all engine
models, can completely interpret your parts requirements.
