Understanding a schematic
I recently had some electrical problems 
and thought I knew how to read an auto schematic but found out there were some symbols I did not know. Here is an explanation of some of those symbols. I thought I would pass this on to the forum. Sorry if something similar is already posted. 
I just saw that I can NOT post attachments according to posting rules. Should that change, I will post this attachment

If it is a text and picture document display it on your screen and then take a screen print of the subject. Copy that into photo editor and save as a jpg file. It could require more than one file to do the whole document. Then post the jpg files just like a picture using the forum directions on how to post pictures. No attachment needed and the info shows right in the post. Another way to do it is to post a link to the document using the paste link icon.

30 years in the electrical/electronics field and I still come across one once in a while that I've never seen before.
Good luck and if you need any help PM.
