When towing is necessary, the vehicle towing eyes
should be used. The rope must be securely
fastened to the towing eyes and must also be
attached to the other vehicle such that the rope will
not foul the bodywork.

towed, the gear selector must be in position

(Neutral). Never tow a vehicle with automatic
transmission at a speed greater than 30 mph (50
kmlh) or for a distance greater than 30 miles (50
km). If it is necessary to tow the vehicle a greater
distance, the drive wheels must be lifted clear off
the ground.

been caused by an electrical short circuit.
If this condition exists there will be an

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Always disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse
order to the connecting sequence and do not short
i the ends of the cables.
Do not rely on the generator to restore a
discharged battery. For a generator to recharge a
battery, it would take in excess of eight hours
continuous driving with no additional loads placed
on the battery.
Component Cleaning
To prevent the ingress of dirt, accumulations of
loose dirt and greasy deposits should be removed
before disconnecting or dismantling components
or assemblies.
Components should be thoroughly cleaned before inspection prior to reassembly.
Cleaning Methods:
- Dry cleaning.
- Removal of loose dirt with soft or cable brushes.
- Scraping dirt off with a piece of metal or wood.
( ,- Wiping off with a rag.
A WARN1NG:Wear eye protection when
cleaning vehicle components with
compressed air, a steam cleaner or a
power washer. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
CAUTIONS:
A Compressed air is sometimes 'wet' so use
with caution, especially on hydraulic
systems.
A To prevent damage to the electrical
connectors in the engine compartment, do
not use a steam cleaner or a power washer
to clean the engine compartment.
- Blowing dirt off with compressed air.
- Removal of dry dust using vacuum equipment.
This method must always be used to remove
friction lining material dust (asbestos particles).
- Steam cleaning.
A WARN1NG:Most solvents require careful
handling and some are harmful. Refer to
Health and Safety Precautions and to the
manufacturers literature for the relevant
safety precautions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury.
Various solvents are available which are suitable
for component cleaning. Some components, such
as brake hydraulic parts and electrical assemblies
should be cleaned only with recommended solvents
- refer to Solvents, Sealers and Adhesives or to
the section of the manual relevant to the
component.
Calibration of Essential Measuring
Equipment
A WARNING:Equipment, which requires
regular calibration, must be calibrated in
accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury
or damage to components.
It is of fundamental importance that certain
essential equipment, for example torque wrenches,
multimeters, exhaust gas analyzers or rolling roads,
are regularly calibrated in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
