One bleed va lve is located on the governor housing, while the other is incorpo rated in the hydraulic head lock ing screw situated immediately above the pump nameplate. O perate the lift pump and when the fuel issuing from bo th valves is free from air bubbles, tighten the bleed valves.

(4) Slacken the union nuts at the injector end of any two high-pressure pipes. Ensure that the stop con tro l is in the ·run· position. a nd set the accelerator in the fully open position. Crank the engine unt il the fuel flowing from both pi pes is free from air bubbles , then tighten the pi pe unio n nuts.

(5) Start the engine and allow it to run until it is fi ring on all cylinders.

After renewing the main fuel fil ter clement. providing the engine is not cranked during this operation, it i only necessary to bleed the fuel filter as described in operations ( I) and (2) before s tarting the engine.

WARNING.- Lubrication of the injection pump mechanism is effected by fuel oil under pres~'Ure, therefore, no attempt should be made to bleed the fuel system by towing the vehicle in gear as this may result in serious da mage to thr injection pump.

Roadside injection adjustment

On no account should the injectors o r a ny part o f the injection pump be dis­mantled at the roadside. It is recommended that a spare injector is carried, and renewing an injector is the only servicing of this nature that should be carried out a t the roadside.

It is often possible to locate an injecto r which is no t working correctly by slackening the feed pipe union nut of the suspect injector and a llowing the fuel to leak past the union whilst the engine is running slowly. If there is no change in the engine performance or if a fa ulty condition, such as a smoky exhaust , has disappeared, it is reasonable to assume that the injector nozzle is faulty.

To renew a faulty injector disconnect the high-pressure feed pipe from the injector nozzle holder and the lcak-o iT pipe from all the injector cap nuts, noting the seal washers located on C<lCh side of the pipe banjo-type unions.

Remove the two nuts securing the fa ulty injecto r to the cylinder hea d and withdraw the injecto r. In cases o l' difliculty Service tool 18G 491 A should be used to draw the injector from the cylinder hea d .

Ensure that the injecto r in the cylinder head is in good condition and wilf make a gas-tight jo int.

Place the new injector in posit ion and tighten the securing nuts evenly half < turn at a time to ensure even seating. A torque wrench set to 121b. ft. (1·6 kg. m.: should be used whenever possible.

Reconnect the fuel pressure pipe and leak-off unions, ensuring that the join. washers are fitted on each side of the leak-off pipe banjo unions.

CLUTCH To bleed air from the hydraulic system

Bleeding t~e system is not a routine maintenance operation, and should only be necessary 1f some component of the hydra ulic system has been disconnected or the fluid drai ned off.

Unlike the hydraulic fluid, air is compressible, and its effect when present in the system is to give a 'spongy' feel on the pedal a nd produce excessive travel making gear selection difficult. '

During the bleeding operation maintain the fluid level in the reservoir to within t in. ( 13 mm.) below the bottom of the filler neck and ensure that a ll union and pipe connections are tight a nd leakproof. '

The clutch sla ve cylinder bleed nipple

The slave cylinder provides the only bleeding point, as shown in the illustra tion. Clean o n· a ll dirt from a nd around the bleeder screw, a ttach the bleeder tube to ~he bleeder. screw nipple, a llowing the other end of the tube to ha ng into a glass Jar filled with suffictent hydraulic fluid to immerse the end of the tu be. Slacken th.e screw one complete turn. Instruct an assista nt to depress the clutch pedal with ~ s low ~ull st~oke a nd a llow the pedal to return unass isted , repeating this pumpmg actton with a pause before each depression o f the pedal. Watch the How of fluid into !he glass jar and when a ll bubbles cease to a ppear, tighten the bleeder screw durmg a down stro ke of the peda l. Remove the tube a nd jar.

NOTE.-Ciean fluid bled from the system should be alJowed to stand until it is clear of all air bubbles before being used again. Used fluid, if not contaminated, may be filtered and used again.

Fit the bleed tube over the nipple and immerse the free end in a clean jar contain ing a little fluid . Unscrew the nipple a bout three-quarters o f a turn, and commence bleeding with a fairly fast ful l st roke of the brake pedal, a llowing the pedal to fly back unassisted. Repeat th is procedure unti l it is apparen t that all ai r has been excluded, closing the nipple during the last slo w pedal application. A t no time during the bleeding operation must the fluid level fa ll to a point where a ir may be drawn into the system.

Repeat with each wheel cylinder in turn , finishing wi th the cylinder s ituated nearest the maste r cylinder.

If the bleeding of any cylinder continues without clea ring the ai r bubbles, it may be tha t air is being d rawn in to the system via the bleed nipple threads. In this case the bleed nipple should be tightened a t the end of a downward s tro ke, a llowing the pedal to retu rn before re-opening.

Never use fluid which has just been bled fro m the system for to pping up the supply tank. It '' ill most certa inly be aerated and must be a llowed to stand for at least 24 hours before re-use. Contaminated flu id must be discarded.

Replace the rubber cap on all bleed n ipples.

NOTE.- Ciean fluid bled from the system should be a llowed to stand until it is clear of a ll air bubbles before being used again. Used fluid, if not contaminated, may be filtered and used again.

The fuse holder is located on the engine bulkhead and is readily accessible after raising the bonnet.

The fuse between 'I' and '2' pro tects the accessories which operate irrespec­tive of whether the ignition/master switch is off or on. The fuse between '3' and '4' protects the accessories which operate only when the ignition/master swi tch is on.

Two spare fuses are provided, and it is important that only the correct replace­ment fuses a re used.

If a new fuse blows immediately on replacement trace the fault before inserting a nother one of the same fusing value (marked inside the fuse tube).

Tile fuse holder with the spare/uses arrowed. A blown fuse must be immediately

renewed

The units which are protected by the fuses can readily be identified on the wiring diagra m. A blown fuse is indicated by the failure of the units protected by it, and is confirmed by examination of the fuse when withdrawn. Before renewing a blo'-'!'n fuse inspect the wiring of the units that have failed for evidence of a short-circuit or other fault. Remedy the cause of the trouble before fitting a new fuse.

Tyre pressures

The recommended tyre pressures a re given in 'GENERAL DATA' on page 10. Maintain the correct pressures by checking with an accurate tyre gauge, and infla ting if necessary.

Any unusual pressure loss should be investigated . l.Jnder-infla tion causes rapid tyre wear, and even more serious is the possible damage to the cords of the fabric owing to excessive bending or flex ing of the cover wa lls.

backplate in a clockwise direct ion as fa r as it will go. The brake-shoes are then hard on, and the adjuster should be turned back two full notches to give the shoes the correct clearance from the drum.

The adjuster can be turned a notch at a time, and the engagement, which can be heard and felt, is caused by the Hat sides of the cone on the inner end of the adjuster engaging with the plungers supporting the ends of the shoes.

One common adjuster is provided for both shoes in the rear brake assembly and the adjustment for both rear wheels is identical. After adjustment the brake pedal should be applied hard two or three times to centra lize the brake-shoes in their drums.

The running positions of the tyres should be changed at the recommended intervals so as to regularize lyre wear.

Tyrcs- running position

Change the running position of the tyres as shown in the il lustra tion. Th is will equalize the tyre wear of the front and rea r wheels and prolong the life of the tyres.

Check the tyre pressures after ... the wheels have been changed round (see page 10).

Inspect the lyres frequently and remove any pieces of flint , stone, or glass which have become embedded in the covers.

External oil filter (petrol models)

The external oil filter is of the renewable-element type and is located on the right-hand side of the cylinder block. Unscrew the central casing bolt, remove the casing, a nd discard the filter element. Wash out the casing with petrol and dry it before replacing it with a new element.

Start the engine, ensure that the o il pressure gauge registers within 30 seconds, allow the engine to warm up thoroughly, and then check the filter for oil leaks.

The air c leaner is mounted on the right-hand side of the engine and is con­nected to the. carburctter or venturi adaptor by a corrugated hose. Servicing must be earned out at the recommended intervals, or more often if excessively dusty conditions arc experienced.

Remove the oil bath air cleaner and detach the oil bath from the gauze container. Swill the gauze in petrol, clean out the oil bath, and refill with clean engine oil. Keep the air cleaner in a vertical position whilst removing or replacing to avoid oil spillage.

The servicing instructio ns given in the fol lowing table show in a clearly a rra nged a nd concise manner the attent ions required to maintain the vehicle in a n effic ient condit ion under normal condit ions of work a nd c lima te.

Extreme climatic conditions may, however, necessita te altera tions to the inte rva ls at which some of the atte nt io ns a re g iven, and it must be left, therefore, to the discretion of operators on the spot to vary these interva ls to suit lo ca l condit ions.

Where the actua l distance run in a given period is small it may be a d visable to apply the instructions on a 'time' ins tead of on a 'distance' basis .

When c hecking nuts which a re s plit-pinned or secured by ta b washers exa m ine fo r s igns o f movement o r leakage before attempting to tighten them wi th a spa nner.
