The thermometer indicotes the temperoture
of the coolont with the ignition switched on.
The optimum operoting temperoture ronge is
from 75 to 105oC. In
SfOon 105 S, this
ronge
is identified by
the green
zone of the scole.
The fuel gouge
indicotes the level
of the fuel
with the ignition switched on. The scole is
provided with divisions 0 -

The driver is worned by the red worning light
when thene ore less thon 5litres of fuel in the
fuel tonk.
The tochometer indicotes the speed (revol-
utions) of the engine. The
speed should
never
rise to the red zone. When chonging the geors,
on increose of speed within the ronge
of the
yellow zone is permissible.
The porking

1.6 STARTING THE
ENGINE AND CHECKING
ITS CORRECT RUNNING
1. Moke sure thot the geor
lever is in its
neutrol position,
switch on the ignition (pos-
ition I on the switch box) ond wotch the
coming on of the oil pressure ond chorging
worning lights, i.
e. check the function of the
olternotor -
see the informotion in porogroph

Prepore the engine
to its temperoture:
- Storting from cold in
the occelerotor pedol
- Storting from cold in
the occelerotor pedol
choke for
storting occording
winter -
do not touch
ond use the full choke
summer -
do not touch
ond use only holf of the
Fig. 1.5/1 Hondle ot

Wheel Lock
crnrl Safety Lotch -
Storting o wormed-up engine -
depress the
occelerotor pedol
slowly to tlre
toe-boord, do
not touch the choke
2. Depress the clutch pedol
(odvisoble
in
summer, necessory in
winter) ond stort
the
engine by turning the ignition key to position
ll.
Let go
of the key os soon os the engine fires
ond releose the occelerotor pedol
{if it hos
been
clepressed).
It the engine ,refuses
to fire, return the key
to the position "0"
ond rePeot the
storting
Pro-
cedure. lf the engine is wormed up, depress the
occelerotor pedol
to obout one third of its totol
trovel. lf the cold engine stolls even
ofter the
second ond third storting ottemPt, enrich the
storting mixture by quickly
depressing the
oc-
celerotor pedol
once or twice to holf of its
trovel during the next storting ottemPt.
Never let tlre storter motor run for more
thon
obout 5 seconds. Woit
some 5 seconds before
repeoting the storting.
Fuel is injected
by every quick
depression of
the occelerotor pedol
ond enriches the mixture
so thot it is difficult to ignite. lf the engine
is flooded, stort
it
with o fully depressed oc-
celerotor pedol.
3. Increose the engine speed corefully while
releosing the clutch pedol. lf the
engine shows
signs of stolling, depress
ogoin the clutch
pedol.

the cover gosket
on the block,
oil the timing
choin ond the comshott worm geor.
Remove the
f lywheel powl
ond rotote the
cronkshoft through
360o so
os to bring tlre pistons
of the cylinders
No. 1 ond 4 to their TDC position
ogoin. This
position corresponds opproximotely
to the volve
geor position
when the cylinder No. 1 f ires (the
tips of the coms of
cylinder No. 1 ore turned
downword, owoy from
the engine). Lock the
cronkshoft in position by refitting ond tight-
ening the flywheel powl.
25. Turn
the distributor orm in the direction
of the
screw (1) in occordonce with Fig. 2.3110,
hold it down with the
finger in this position,
ond ref it the timing geor
cover on the cylinder
block. By sliding the worm geor
of the distribu-
tor drive into the comshoft worm geor,
the orm
is turned to coincide with the timing
mork for

on the distributor housing. lf
there is no coincidence of the orm ond timing

slightly
rototing the distributor.
lf the

thot it connot be corrected
by rototing
the distributor, remove
the timing geor

rotote the distributor slightly ond repeot
the
entire procedure
of refitting the timing geor
cover. 26. Smeor the protruding
end of the cronk-
shoft ond the outer shoft end (stem)

On 105 ond 120 l- engines, the sheet guord
must be fitted to the intoke monifold inlet
socket with o throttling spider, while 120 LS
engines must hove the possoge

To Refit Alternotor
41. Attoch the olternotor
brocket to the side
of the cylinder block while putting
ploin
woshers under
the nuts. Mount the olternotor
holder together with the engine mounting lug
on the bolt of the timing geor
cover ond the
front lug of the cylinder block.
Use self-locking
nuts for the bolts f ostening the olternotor
holder. Lock
the lower bolt of the lug by meons
of o spring wosher
ond nut. Using onother bolt,
bolt together the lug ond the brocket. lnsert
the tie-bolt from
the side
of the lug, slip on
o ploin
wosher ond tighten the nut. Fit the
short-circuit strip on the bolt ond lock it in

porollel
with the olternotor brocket
by screwing
down the respective nut with
o ploin
wosher.
42. Put the olternotor into the holder,
ttrreod
in the bolt, ond screw down the nut with o ploin
wosher without tightening. Without tightening
the self-locking
nut, bolt the strut into the
brocket on the cylinder heod. Swing the olter-
notor toword the engine, fit
the V-belt ond,
while tensioning it, connect the olternotor with
the strut using o bolt, spring wosher ond nut.
At the some time, tighten the nut of the bolt
holding down the olternotor
in the
holder ond
the nut of the bolt connecting the strut with
the holder. For the belt slock odiustment see
Chopter 15.3. 43.
Fosten the second
engine mounting lug
using nuts with spring woshers.
To Fit Cylinder Heod, Air

ped o seoling ring ond o wosher on eoch bolt,
the some os in the cose of the push-rod
cover.
In oddition, fit the fuel pipe
holder on the reor
bolt ond hold it down by slightly tightening the
nut.
45. Fit the oir cleoner in position
ond fosten
it to the corburettor with o bolt using o seoling
ring ond wosher. Put o spring wosher
under the
nut on the brocket
ond screw down the nut on
the bolt of the cover without ony wosher.
46. Threod the fuel hose through its holder
on the cylinder heod ond use clips to fosten it
to the corburettor ond pump.
Adiust the most
suitoble position of the hose by rototing
the
holder ond then tighten the nut.
47. Attoch hoses connecting the oir cleoner
with the corburettor ond the oil filler neck.
