Navigating EQ-Hit

All major EQ-Hit features can be accessed from the main EQ-Hit screen.

Navigation Menus

Navigation menus appear in the main section of the EQ-Hit window. Menu choices are displayed as thumbnail images or as lists.

You can change your view at any point by clicking one of the icons in the upper right corner of the screen:

List mode
Graphical mode

Note: there is also a button for Expert mode, which changes how EQ-Hit functions.

Click a thumbnail or list item to advance to the next navigation menu. The choice you make determines the contents of the next menu.

Tip: At each menu, type a keyword in the Type to narrow box to quickly locate a menu item. As you type, the display is reduced to only those entries that contain what you entered.

Illustrations and Parts Lists

The side-by-side Illustration and Parts List appears when you navigate to a vehicle, section, and figure:

Each part listed in the Parts List includes a numerical FIGKEY which corresponds to a matching number in the illustration.

From the Parts List, you can view part details such as notes, bulletins, and supersession history, and you can add parts to your picklist.

The menu bar allows you to open a new job or access parts information, online help, or the Settings window.
