A
valve
and
port assem-
bly
in the
reservoir directs flow
of
fluid
in sys-
tem.
The motor, pump,
and
reservoir assembly
can
be
replaced
as a
unit,
or
electric motor
can
be replaced separately. The cylinders are sealed
units
and
must
be
replaced
as
assemblies.
If
difficulty
is
encountered
in
raising
or
lowering
the
top
with motor running, with sufficient
fluid in the reservoir, and with pivot points op-
erating freely without binding,
the
cause
is
probably improper linkage alignment
and ad-
justment.

CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
IN
RESERVOIR
Insufficient fluid
in
system
may
cause
top to
raise slowly
or
cause noise
in the
pump
and
motor during operation. Check fluid level
in
reservoir.
If
low, check
for a
leak due
to
brok-
en line
or
loose connection. Replace line
or
tighten connection
as
necessary. Fill reservoir
until fluid runs
out of
filler hole.
Use
Heavy
Duty Brake Fluid.
After filling reservoir, raise
and
lower
top
several times
to
force
out air
that
may be
trapped
in
system. Always check fluid level
when
top is
lowered.

TOP WILL NOT RAISE
OR
LOWER
Hook one wire
of a
test lamp
to a
good ground
and the other wire
of
test lamp feed
to
terminal
on control switch.
The
test lamp should light.
If test lamp does
not
light, test
on
each side
of circuit breaker,
and
replace faulty wire
or
circuit breaker,
as
necessary.
61.
TESTING THE TOP CONTROL SWITCH
Disconnect the black wire
at
top control switch
and hold
it
firmly against black
and red
wire
terminal
on
control switch. The top
(if
raised)
should start
to
lower. Repeat this test with
green wire.
The top (in
lowered position)
shoud start
to
rise.
If
top operates during these
tests,
but
fails
to
operate when control switch
lever
is
moved
to
right
or
left,
the
switch
is
at fault
and
should
be
replaced.
If top
fails
to
operate during these tests, follow procedure
outlined
in
Paragraph
57, 59 and 62.
62.
TESTING WIRES BETWEEN CONTROL
SWITCH AND PUMP MOTOR
This test
can be
made from
the
luggage
com-
partment. Check pump motor ground wire
(black wire between pump motor and ground)
to make certain
it has a
good, clean ground
connection. Hook one wire
of
test lamp
to
black
wire terminal
on
pump motor
and
ground
the
other wire
of
test lamp. Move top control lever
to right.
The
test lamp should light.
If
test
lamp does
not
light,
the
black wire between
pump motor and control switch
is
defective and
should
be
replaced. Repeat this test
at
green
wire terminal, moving top control lever
to
left.
If test lamp lights
in
both cases,
but the
pump
motor fails
to
operate, replace the pump motor.
63.
REAR WINDOW (CONVERTIBLE COUPE)
The rear window
is
made from flexible vinyl
plastic material
and
special attention should
be given
to
cleaning
and
storage
of
window.
To clean window, rinse with cold water spray
to remove grit and dirt. Lather the surface with
suds
of a
mild soap, (such
as
Castile), using
the palm
of
hand. Rinse thoroughly
and
allow
to air dry. Do not use towel, sponge,
or
chamois
to apply suds
or to dry the
window. Otherwise,
the surface may become scratched.
If
this pro-
cedure does
not
clean
the
window thoroughly,
a solution
of 40 per
cent rubbing alcohol
and
60
per
cent clean water should
be
used. Apply
with palm
of
hand
and rub
surface
of
window
with circular motion.
Use
solution generously.
