BLEEDING
THE
HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM

The
hydraulic
system
must
be
bled
if
the
circuit
has
been

opened
at

any
point
or
if

the
level
of
the
fluid
in
the
master

cylinder
reservoir
has
fallen
too

low
allowing
air
to
enter

the

system

Bleeding
is

usually
a
two
man

operation
as
assistance
will

be

required
to
work
the
brake

pedal
The
master

cylinder

reservoir
must
be

topped

up
constantly
throughout
the

operation

whilst
a
check
is
carried
out
on

the
fluid

expelled

Bleeding
should
be
carried
out
at
the
master

cylinder

then
from
the
brake
furthest

away
from
the
master

cylinder

and

working
round

finally
to

DESCRIPTION

A
12
volt

negative
earth
electrical

system
is
used
in
which

the

battery
is

charged
by
an
alternator
In
the
alternator
a

magnetic
field
is

produced
by
the
rotor

which
consists
of
the

alternator
shaft
field
coil

p
le

pieces
and

slip
rings

Output
current
is

generated
in
the
armature
coils
located

in
the
stator
Six
silicon
diodes
are

incorporated
in
the
alternator

caSing
to

rectify
the

alternating
current

supply
A
voltage

regulator
and

pilot
lamp
relay
are
built
in
the

regulator
box

which

nonnally
does
not

give
trouble
or

require
attention

The
starter
motor
is
a

brush

type
series
wound
motor

in

which

positive
meshing
of
the

pinion
and

ring

gear
teeth
are

secured

by
means
of
an

overrunning
clutch

BATTERY
Maintenance

The

battery
should
be
maintained
in
a
clean
and

dry

condition
at
all
times
or
a
current

leakage
may
occur

between

the
terminals
If

frequent
topping

up
is

required
it
is
an

indication
of

overcharging
or
deterioration
of
the

battery

When

refitting
the
cables
clean
them

thoroughly
and
coat

their

terminals
and
the
terminal

posts
with

petroleum
jelly

Check
the
level
of
the

electrolyte
in
the

battery
at

frequent

intervals
and

top
up
if

necessary
to

the
level
mark
on

the

battery
case
with
distilled
water
A

hydrometer
test
should
be

carried
out

to
determine
the
state

of

charge
of

the

battery
by

measuring
the

specific
gravity
of
the

electrolyte
It
should
be

pointed
out

that
the
addition
of

sulphuric
acid
will
not

normally

be

necessary
and
should

only
be
carried
out

by
an

expert
when

required

The

specific
gravity
of
the

electrolyte
should
be
ascertained

with
the

battery

fully
charged
at
an

electrolyte
temperature
of

200C
680F

The

specific
gravity
of
the

electrolyte
decreases
or
increases

by
0
0007
when
its

temperature
rises
or
falls

by
10C
1
80F

respectively

The

temperature
referred

to
is
that
of
the

electrolyte
and

not
the
ambient

temperature
to
correct
a

reading
for
an
air

temperature
it
will
be

necessary
to

add
0
0035
to
the

reading

for

every
50C
above
200C

Conversely
0
0035
must

be
deducted

for

every
SOC
below
200C
Test
each
cell

separately
and
draw

the

liquid
into
the

hydrometer
several
times
if
a
built
in

thermometer
type
is
used

The
correct

specific
gravity
readings
should
be

ALTERNATOR

The
alternator
is
driven

by
the
fan
belt
and
has
an
advant

age
over
a

dynamo
in
that
it

provides
current
at

low

engine

speeds
thereby
avoiding
battery
drain
Maintenance
is
not

normally
required
but
the
tension
of
the
fan
belt
should
be

checked
and

adjusted
if

necessary
as

described
in
the

section

COOLING
SYSTEM
Care
must
be
taken
not
to

overtighten

the
fan
belt
or

the
alternator

bearings
will
be
overloaded

The
alternator

output
can
be
checked
with
the
alternator

in

the
vehicle

by
carrying
out
the

following
test
Ensure
that
the

battery
is

fully

Increase
the

engine
speed

gradually
and
note

the

reading
on
the
voltmeter
when
the

engine
reaches
a

speed
of

approximately
lOaD

rpm
The

alternator
is

operating

satisfactorily
if
the
voltmeter
shows
a

reading
above
12
5
volts
If

the

reading
is
below
12
5
volts
the

alternator
is
