Notes:    1.     All part numbers beginning with "GF" are interchangeable with those beginning with either "AN"
                 or "MS". If the "GF" is followed by three numbers it is interchangeable with and "AN" part,
                 otherwise it is interchangeable with an "MS" part of the same number.
          2.     The recommended spare parts shown above are the number required to support 10 units for
                 one year. The recommended quantities are based on the ratio of spare parts sold for each unit
                 during a one year period of time. The actual quantity required will vary from location to location.
