INFORMATION GENERAL FITTING REMINDERS
WORKSHOP SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!
The suggestions, cautions and warnings in the
section are intended to serve as reminders for
trained and experienced mechanics. This manual
is not a course in automotive mechanics or
workshop safety.
Shop equipment, shop environment, and the use
and disposal of solvents, fluids, and chemicals
are subject to government regulations which are
intended to provide a level of safety. It is your
responsibility to know and comply with such
regulations.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST DAMAGE
1.Always fit covers to protect fenders before
commencing work in engine compartment.
2.Cover seats and carpets, wear clean overalls
and wash hands or wear gloves before working
inside vehicle.
3.Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid or battery acid on
paint work. Wash off with water immediately if
this occurs. Use Polythene sheets to protect
carpets and seats.
4.Always use a recommended Service Tool, or a
satisfactory equivalent, where specified.
5.Protect temporarily exposed screw threads by
replacing nuts or fitting plastic caps.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Whenever possible use a lift or pit when working
beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying parking brake.
WARNING: Do not use a pit when
removing fuel system components.
2.Never rely on a jack alone to support vehicle.
Use axle stands carefully placed at jacking
points to provide rigid support.
3.Ensure that a suitable form of fire extinguisher is
conveniently located.
4.Check that any lifting equipment used has
adequate capacity and is fully serviceable.
5.Disconnect battery negative lead.
WARNING: Do not disconnect any pipes in
air conditioning refrigeration system,
unless trained and instructed to do so. A
refrigerant is used which can cause blindness if
allowed to contact eyes.
6.Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided
when volatile degreasing agents are being used.
7.Do not apply heat in an attempt to free stiff nuts
or fittings; as well as causing damage to
protective coatings, there is a risk of damage to
electronic equipment and brake linings from
stray heat.

MAINTENANCE
CHECK SECURITY AND OPERATION OF PARK
BRAKE
Parking brake adjust
1.Select a gear or 'P' in main gearbox.
2.Chock road wheels.
3.Release parkbrake lever.
4.Remove switch panel from centre console.
5.Underneath vehicle, rotate brake adjuster
clockwise until brake shoes are fully expanded
against drum.
6.Back off adjuster until drum is free to rotate.
7.Rotate adjustment thumbwheel below parkbrake
lever until parking brake is fully operational on
third notch of ratchet.
NOTE: Cable adjustment must ONLY be
used for initial setting and to compensate
for cable stretch. It MUST NOT be used to
take up brake shoe wear, which MUST be adjusted
at brake drum.
8.Operate parking brake to settle shoes. Recheck
parkbrake is fully operational on third notch of
ratchet. Readjust if necessary.
9.Refit switch panel.

MAINTENANCE VEHICLE EXTERIOR
CHECK/ADJUST HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT
Check/adjust headlamp and auxiliary alignment.
CHECK FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Use recognised wheel alignment equipment to
perform this check and adjustment.
See STEERING,
Adjustment, Front Wheel Alignment
REMOVE WHEELS, CHECK TYRES
Check tyres (including spare) for compliance with
manufacturers' specification.
Check visually for cuts, lumps, bulges, uneven tread
wear and tread depth. Check road wheels for
damage.
Check/adjust tyre pressures.
CHECK/TIGHTEN TOWING BRACKET FITTINGSINSPECT BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR, CALIPERS
FOR LEAKS AND CONDITION
Check thickness of brake pads, fit new pads if
minimum thickness is less than 3,0mm. Check brake
pads for oil contamination. If new brake pads required.
See BRAKES, Repair, Front Brake Pads
or.See BRAKES, Repair, Rear Brake Pads
WARNING: When renewing brake pads, it
is essential that only genuine components
with correct grade of lining are used.
Always fit new pads as complete axle sets, NEVER
individually or as a single wheel set. Serious
consequences could result from out of balance
braking due to mixing of linings.
Refit road wheels
Fit road wheels in original hub position. Secure in
position with wheel nuts, do not fully tighten wheel
nuts at this stage, lower vehicle and finally tighten
wheel nuts to correct torque.
Alloy wheels:
130 Nm.
Steel wheels:130 Nm.

DRAIN FUEL SEDIMENTER - Tdi
Fuel sedimenter
The sedimenter is attached to left-hand side of
chassis frame near fuel tank. It increases the working
life of the fuel filter by removing larger droplets of
water and larger particles of foreign matter from fuel.
Drain off water
1.Loosen drain plug, allow water to run out.
Tighten plug immediately pure diesel fuel starts
to flow.
RENEW FUEL FILTER
WARNING: Ensure that fuel handling
precautions given in Section 01 -
Introduction regarding fuel handling are
strictly adhered to when carrying out following
instructions.
See INTRODUCTION, Information,
Fuel Handling Precautions
WARNING: The spilling of fuel is
unavoidable during this operation. Ensure
that all necessary precautions are taken to
prevent fire and explosion.
1.Depressurise fuel system.
See FUEL SYSTEM,
Repair, Depressurising Fuel System
2.The fuel line filter is located on right hand
chassis side member forward of fuel tank filler
neck. Access to filter is gained through right
hand rear wheel arch.
3.Thoroughly clean area around hose connections
to prevent ingress of foreign matter into fuel
system.
4.Loosen two fuel unions and remove hoses from
filter canister.
5.Release securing bolt and bracket, remove filter
from chassis side member.
6.Fit a new filter observing direction of flow arrow
on canister.
7.Fit inlet and outlet hoses. Tighten to
30 Nm.
8.Refit fuel pump relay.
9.Reconnect battery negative lead.
10.Recode radio.
11.Start engine and inspect hose connections for
fuel leaks.
