Suitable components are identified by their grcc’r/ colo/~r and may only be replaced by gc~rttri~ro wplor-c~t~~c~nf
col,,pollc,l/fs painted or marked in green.
All rubber components (joints, hoses, diaphragms, etc . . . ) are of a
spvcirfl qtrnlif), ior ~/.SCJ wifh idlfM (Iuid and are
identified by their white or green colour, 3. STORAGE :
ix Components must be stosed /11i1 o/ /Irlirl nr~tl blor~k~rl o!j: Like the piping they must be protected against shock
E and the inqress of dust
7 Rubber tubing and joints must be stored away from dust. air, light and heat.

a
a a) T/FOI the c-r>ufrol.y or f/l<, rnc~ch~uir~~l livkrrgc~s o/ //I(’ uuits or f/lo gmltp o/ h\~d~c~u/i~ ~~~~it.s in(nln>d are HO/

b) and that the 111’ c-ire-/ii/ is ////(/(jr /~I.(Jss/II.(J. as follows :
With the engine at idling speed :
- Unscrew the pressure-release screw on the pressure requlator by one or one and one half turns : a sound
, of leakage should be heard from the requlator.
= Retighten the release screw : cut-out must occur which results in a reduction in the running noise
emitted by the H P pump.
If not check in the following sequence
- that there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir,
- that the reservoir filter is clean and in good condition,
= that the H.P pump is primed and there is no air leak on the suction side of the pump,
- that the release screw of the pressure requlator is correctly tightened

5. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BEFORE WORKING ON THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM :
a) (.~rvJuI/)~ CIVOII the area of work, the unions and the unit to be removed
Disconnect the lead from the negative terminal of the battery
Only use petrol or lead-free petrol for cleaning.
b ) I~~J/VNSO
the /)twsure in the circuits
- Place the vehicle in the G /arc B
position. stop the engine.
- Slacken the Pressure Requlator release screw.
Wait until the front of the car has reached the low position 6, PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING REMOVAL :
a) t3lnuk o!! the w~~tnl pi/~es with plugs, and rubber tubes with round pins of the correct diameter
b)
t3lmk of/ //IV op,c,/li,lg.s of components with pluqs of the correct diameter
NOTE : Plugs and pins must be carefully cleaned before insertion. 7.. CHECK OR TEST OF HYDRAULIC UNITS :
- Use 3654-T t~sf hc~~c-h equipped and designed for use with LHM fluid
This bench is /)ciitltc’d ~IY’~‘~/ and its accessories are marked in green.
- Never use the bench with another fluid or for testing components operating with another fluid (units of a (( D ))
car using LHS2 for instance ).
NOTE The (< Le Bozec )) pump used on test benches for checking DIESEL injectors can be resorted to for
testing components operating with LHM mineral fluid provided that the bench is cleaned first. 8. PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN DURING REFITTING :
E steel pipes must be blown through with compressed air,
5 rubber tubes and joints must be washed in petrol or white spirit and then dried with compressed air,
= hydraulic units must also be cleaned with petrol or white spirit and blown through with compressed air.
NOTE Renew all joints and seals during refittinq .
b
) 12rlbrijicntim :
- Follow the indications as stated in the operations in the Manual..
- Joints and internal parts must be liqhtly oiled hefore fitting ( use mineral fluid LHM only )
L If parts in contact with hydraulic units have to be qreased use a mineral grease only ( as employed for
Cardan shafts or bearings ).

I To connect a union proceed as follows :
- Position sleeve-seal (( a u lightly coated with
L,HM fluid; this sleeve seal must not reach the
extremity of pipe (( b )).
- Centre the pipe in the housinq by lininq it up
with the axis of the hole, avoidinq all stress.
( Ensure that the end u b )I of the pipe enters
into the smali bore C< c )> j.
Start screwing in the union nut by hand.
- Tiqhten nut moderately : excessive force could
cause a leak because of deformation of the pipe
NOTE Tiqhteninq torques :
3.5 -mm pipe t 5.8 to 6 6 ft lbs
4 5 mm pipe 5 8 to 0 mN ( 0.8 to.0 9 ‘1 kg )
6 6 to 8 0 ft.lbs
6. O-mm pipe
1
9 to 11 mN (0 9 to 1 1 m.kg ) c ) Fittilzg :
I Only use joints of a quality compatible with LHM mineral fluid.
The design of the various seals ensures that their sealing action increases with fluid pressure The oiltiqhtness e
is therefore not improved by greater tiqhtness of the unions
2 To connect a rubber tube a rubber rinq of suitabie diameter has to be positioned between thr, tube and the hose

On completion of work on hydraulic units or the system itself check the followinq :
h) ‘1’11~ C./CJ~~~IIC-C, I~c,lrt,c,c,rt I/J<
pipvs : pipes must not touch one another or any other component, nor may any other
unit, whether fixed or movable, exert any stress on them.

- Disconnect the E.C.U.
- Using an ohmmeter check the continuity of circuits (( 6 )a, H 7 )) (( 8 H and (( 9 )) linking the air-flow sensor to
the multiple terminal board. as well as the continuity between each of the terminals
- The air-flow meter does not require any maintenance. It is not necessary to oil the flop. It must work without
high spot or catching
When the air-flow sensor is removed blank off the ducts so OS to protect it from dust
- Check the air circuit for air-tightness.
6. Resistors and injectors :
- A dirty injector may cause o lock of power. or on unstable idling speed.
- It is possible to test the functioning of the injectors with the engine idling by disconnecting each injector
in turn the engine rpm should decrease each time.
- Disconnect the E C U
- The resistance of an injector is 2 to 3 II.
- Each supplementary resistance is 5 to 7 R
- The volume delivered by an injector ( kept constantly open and under the normal operating pressure ) is
approximately 200 cm3 /min ( 12 25 cu in/min )-
- If the rubber pipe on one of the injectors appears wet on the outside, the injector must be replaced.
- Using an ohmmeter, check the continuity of the circuits
