DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be - used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less
than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may
be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but
such fumes and gases may be produced from
coatings on the work, particularly during cutting
away of damaged body parts, and inhalation of the
fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the
metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard
may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are
used. In this event particular care must be taken

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Standard Workshop Practices
Vehicle in Workshop
When working on a vehicle in the workshop always
make sure that:
- the parking brake is applied or the wheels are
securely chocked to prevent the vehicle moving
forwards or backwards.
- the key is removed from key operated hood
locks before any work is carried out around the
front of the vehicle.
- if the engine is to be run, there is adequate
ventilation, or an extraction hose to remove
exhaust fumes.
- there is adequate room to raise the vehicle and
remove the wheels, if necessary.
- fender covers are always fitted if any work is to
be carried out in the engine compartment.
- the battery is disconnected if working on the
engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the vehicle
is raised.
Alternative Fuel - Dons
- Do work on the vehicle in a designated area,
that is well ventilated and with access restricted
to qualified personnel only.
- Install new warning labels to their original
locations.
- If possible always isolate the alternative fuel
tank, and run the vehicle on the alternative fuel
until it automatically switches to its normal fuel
prior to taking the vehicle into the workshop
service area.
- Only use tested and approved components and
pipes when repairing or servicing
LPG and CNG
systems.
Alternative Fuel - Do Nots
- Do not vent off LPG fuel.
- Do not use shop air pressure to force LPG fuel
from the fuel tank.
( A CAUTION:When electric arc welding on a - Do not use paint drying ovens above 40°C for vehicle, always disconnect the generator any alternative fuel vehicle. LPG and CNG fuel wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge tanks must be removed from the vehicle prior of current causing damage to the internal to being put into paint drying ovens above 40°C. components of the generator. - Do not modify the system or install new - if using welding equipment on the vehicle, a

vehicles.
Alternative Fuel
A WARNING:When servicing the fuel system
always follow the recommended
procedures. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
If the odor of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or
compressed natural gas
(CNG) is present in the
air in the workshop, warn all persons in the area
to:
- extinguish all flames and lighted tobacco.
- shut off electrical and air powered equipment.
- evacuate the area.
- ventilate the area.
- contact the fire control authorities.
- remove the vehicle to a dedicated, ventilated
area.
- Do not evacuate fuel tanks unless there is repair
that requires the removal of the fuel tank.
- Do not work on the fuel lines or system
components unless the alternative fuel has been
evacuated and the pressure in the system
reduced to atmospheric or less.
- Do not use anything other than the specified
leak detector fluid to trace fuel leaks.
Be aware of situations that may cause the
LPG or I
CNG fuel system to vent off fuel, such as: I
- extremely hot days.
- parking by a space heater.
- hoisting a vehicle up near a ceiling heater.
Only fully trained personnel, who are conversant
with local standards, are to work on alternative fuel
vehicles.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RoadIRoller Testing
I Road or roller testing may be carried out for various
reasons and a procedure detailing pre-test checks,
engine starting and stopping, pre-driving checks,
on-test checks and final checks to be completed
on completion of the test is given below.
Unless complete vehicle performance is being
checked, the full road test procedure need not be
carried out. Instead, those items particularly
relevant to the
system(s) being checked can be
extracted.
Pre-Test Checks
A WARNING:lf the brake system hydraulic
fluid level is low, pedal travel is excessive
or a hydraulic leak is found, do not attempt
to road test the vehicle until the reason for
the low fluid level, excessive pedal travel
or hydraulic leak is found and rectified.
It is suggested that pre-test checks and functional
tests of those systems and circuits which affect the
safe and legal operations of the vehicle, such as
( , brakes, lights and steering, should always be
carried out before the road or roller test.
With the ignition switched off, check:
- the engine oil level.
- the engine coolant level.
- the tires, for correct pressure, compatible types
and tread patterns, and wear within limits.
- that there is sufficient fuel in the tank to
complete the test.
- all around the engine, transmission and under
the vehicle for oil, coolant, hydraulic and fuel
leaks. Make a note of any apparent leaks and
wipe off the surrounding areas to make it easier
to identify the extent of the leak on completion
of the test.
Starting the Engine
N0TE:On initial drive away from cold and within
the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress the
accelerator pedal beyond half travel until the
vehicle has attained a minimum speed of
25 kmlh
(15 mileslh). Never operate at high engine speed
or with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the
engine is cold.
With the ignition switched off, check:
- that the parking brake is applied.
- that the gear lever is in the neutral position.
- that all instrument gauges (except fuel gauge)
read zero.
With the ignition switched on, check:
- that the ignition controlled warning lamps are
illuminated.
- that the engine temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine temperature.
- that the fuel gauge registers a reading
appropriate to the fuel level in the tank.
- the operation of the parking brake warning lamp
and fluid level warning indicator.
Road or Roller Testing
A CAUTI0N:lf road testing, check the brake
operation while still traveling at low speed
before continuing with the test. If the
brakes pull to one side, or appear to be
otherwise faulty, do not continue with the
road test until the fault has been found and
rectified.
During the road or roller test, check:
- that the clutch pedal operation is not stiff or
heavy.
- that the initial gear engagement is smooth and
there is no evidence of clutch drag.
- that the parking brake control operates smoothly
and releases quickly and completely.
- that the clutch takes up the drive smoothly,
without slip or judder.
- that gear changing is smooth with no abnormal
noises or vibrations from the transmission.
- the engine power output is satisfactory, full
power is achieved, acceleration is smooth and
pedal operation is not stiff or heavy, and engine
speed returns to idle correctly.
- there is no excessive or abnormally colored
smoke from the engine under normal driving,
heavy load or overrun conditions.
- that steering operation, including power steering
(if equipped), is smooth, accurate, not
excessively heavy or with excessive free play
or vibration.
- that the steering does not pull to one side and
self centers smoothly after cornering.

Brake Testing
A WARNING:When brake testing, avoid
breathing the fumes from hot brakes, this
may contain asbestos dust which is
hazardous to health. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
For additional information, refer to: Health
and Safety Precautions
(1 00-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
A Avoid brake testing on busy roads where
it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
A Brake testing which includes heavy brake
applications should not be carried out with
new brake
padsldiscs or liningsldrums
until the components have bedded-in. New
brake friction components will not reach
full efficiency until the bedding-in process
is complete.
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal
operating range using both light and heavy pedal
pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or
drag, and any undue delay in application or
release.
Allow the vehicle to coast and note any tendency
to pull to one side, or evidence that the brakes are
binding.
After stopping the vehicle (not immediately after a
period of heavy braking), carefully check the brake
temperature.
A brake disc or brake drum that feels
hot or is appreciably hotter than the others,
indicates that the brake is binding.
After completion of the test, check for:
