The Importance of Technical Documentation

Beyond the Part Number: The Distributor’s Guide to Using ZF Technical Documentation and Parts Catalogs

Introduction: The Knowledge Advantage

Effective ZF parts procurement relies not only on the physical part but on mastering the technical documentation: the Illustrated Parts Catalogs (IPC) and service bulletins. This knowledge ensures accurate cross-referencing and provides vital installation context.

This guide from XiaoHang Machinery Co. helps distributors understand how to leverage technical documentation to minimize sourcing errors.

Section 1: Mastering the IPC and BOM

The IPC is Your Map

The Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) shows exploded views and part breakdowns. Understanding the IPC alongside the BOM number is the only way to confirm if a specific component has been superseded or revised.
