WORKSHOP MANUAL 928
This workshop manual describes all of the important operations for which special instructions are
required to assure proper completion. This manual is essential for the shop foremen and mechanics,
who need this information to keep the vehicles in a safe operating condition. The basic safety rules.
of course, also apply to repairs on vehicles without exception.
The information is grouped according to repair numbers which are identical to the first two digits
of the repair time and warranty code.
The repair group index. an alphabetical index and the register table are quick guides to find in-
formation in the manual.
Descriptions of design and function can be found in the service training course reference material.
This workshop manual will be kept up to date with workshop bulletins. which will be made part
of the manual from time to time. We recommend that these workshop bulletins be filed in the
special folder provided for this purpose.

NEW INTERNATIONAL UNIT SYSTEM
The “Legislation Concerning Units of Measurement” was passed in the Federal Republic of Germany
on July 5. 1910. The new units have to be applied in official and business transactions by the end of
the allocated transition period on December 31. 1917 (some even earlier).
The new units are derived from the international system of basic units.

Prinred in Germany International Cnit System 0.01

General 9 28
Decimal multiples and parts of units can be made by adding prefixes in front of the unit symbols.
Prefixes
Examples:
1. Unit m (meter). By adding prefix k (kilo) we have km (kilometer 7 1,000 m).
2. Unit s (second). By adding prefix m (milli) we have ms (millisecond = l/1000 s).
