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 definitive guide to 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 where
specified.
5.Protect temporarily exposed screw threads by
replacing nuts or fitting plastic caps.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.Whenever possible, use a lift 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.
WARNING: Do not disconnect any pipes in
air conditioning 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
fixings; as well as causing damage to protective
coatings, there is a risk of damage to electronic
equipment and brake linings from stray heat.

INFORMATION JOINTS AND JOINT FACES
1.Always use correct gaskets where they are
specified.
2.Use jointing compound only when
recommended. Otherwise fit joints dry.
3.When jointing compound is used, apply in a thin
uniform film to metal surfaces; take great care to
prevent it from entering oilways, pipes or blind
tapped holes.
4.Remove all traces of old jointing materials prior
to reassembly. Do not use a tool which could
damage joint faces.
5.Inspect joint faces for scratches or burrs and
remove with a fine file or oil stone; do not allow
removed material or dirt to enter tapped holes or
enclosed parts.
6.Blow out any pipes, channels or crevices with
compressed air, fit new 'O' rings or seals
displaced by air blast.FLEXIBLE HYDRAULIC PIPES, HOSES
1.Before removing any brake or power steering
hose, clean end fittings and area surrounding
them as thoroughly as possible.
2.Obtain appropriate plugs or caps before
detaching hose end fittings, so that ports can be
immediately covered to exclude dirt.
3.Clean hose externally and blow through with
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation
of plies, security of end fittings and external
damage. Reject any hose found faulty.
4.When refitting hose, ensure that no unnecessary
bends are introduced, and that hose is not
twisted before or during tightening of union nuts.
5.Containers for hydraulic fluid must be kept
absolutely clean.
6.Do not store brake fluid in an unsealed
container. It will absorb water, and fluid in this
condition would be dangerous to use due to a
lowering of its boiling point.
7.Do not allow brake fluid to be contaminated with
mineral oil, or use a container which has
previously contained mineral oil.
8.Do not re-use brake fluid bled from system.
9.Always use clean brake fluid to clean hydraulic
components.
10.Fit a cap to seal a hydraulic union and a plug to
its socket after removal to prevent ingress of dirt.
11.Absolute cleanliness must be observed with
hydraulic components at all times.
12.After any work on hydraulic systems, inspect
carefully for leaks underneath the vehicle while a
second operator applies maximum pressure to
the brakes (engine running) and operates the
steering.

Engine coolant
(Pre-99MY)Use an ethylene glycol based anti-freeze (containing no methanol) with non-phosphate
corrosion inhibitors suitable for use in aluminium engines to ensure the protection of the
cooling system against frost and corrosion in all seasons. Use one part anti-freeze to
one part water for protection down to -36°C (-33°F).
IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below proportions one part
anti-freeze to three parts water, i.e. minimum 25% anti-freeze in coolant otherwise
damage to engine is liable to occur. Maximum concentration is 60%.
Engine coolant
(99MY on)Use Texaco XLC long life coolant. Use one part anti-freeze to one part water for
protection down to -36°C (-33°F).
IMPORTANT: Coolant solution must not fall below 50% anti-freeze otherwise
damage to the engine is liable to occur. Maximum concentration is 60%.

LUBRICATION PRACTICE
Use a high quality oil of the correct viscosity range and service classification in the engine during maintenance and
when topping up. The use of oil not to the correct specification can lead to high oil and fuel consumption and
ultimately to damaged components.
Oil to the correct specification contains additives which disperse the corrosive acids formed by combustion and
prevent the formation of sludge which can block the oilways. Additional oil additives should not be used. Always
adhere to the recommended servicing intervals.
WARNING: Many liquids and other substances used in motor vehicles are poisonous. They must
not be consumed and must be kept away from open wounds. These substances, among others,
include anti-freeze, windscreen washer additives, lubricants and various adhesives.

ANTI-FREEZE
PERCENTAGE CONCENTRATION - 50%
PROTECTION - LOWER TEMPERATURE LIMIT
Complete protection
Vehicle may be driven away immediately from cold,
-33°C (-36°F).
Safe limit protection
Coolant in semi-frozen state. Engine may be started
and driven away after warm-up period, -41°C (-42°
F).Lower protection
Prevents frost damage to cylinder head, block and
radiator. Thaw out before starting engine, -47°C (-53°
F).
CAUTION: Anti-freeze content must never
be allowed to fall below 25% (pre 99MY) or
50% (99MY on) otherwise damage to the
engine is liable to occur. Anti-freeze content
should not exceed 60% (all models) as this will
greatly reduce cooling efficiency.
