IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not fit tyres of odd size to the rear wheels of the car. Running
the car in this condition may cause damage to the differential.
The engine of the car must pot be run with one rear wheel off the
ground with the car in gear. Under these conditions the
"Powr-Lok'
differential will drive the car off the jack.
It is possible to drive the transmission by raising both wheels clear
of the ground and running the engine with the car in gear.
The limited slip differential mainly when hot causes a certain amount
of grabbing when the car is making slight or sharp turns at low speeds.
This is a normal function with the
"Powr-Lok"
differential system.
COOLING SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
If the water level in the radiator header tank is to be checked while
the engine is hot, the pressure in the cooling system must first be released
by half turning the header tank filler cap. This permits pressure to be (
released through the overflow. It is dangerous to completely remove the
filler cap when the engine is hot without releasing the pressure as described.
Cars with aluminium radiators are fitted with a water bleed valve to
the cooling system. This must be removed in conjunction with the header
tank filler cap when topping up with water. The system is.full when water
commences to flow from the bleed valve aperture.
It is advisable to run the engine a few minutes with the bleed valve
and filler cap removed after topping up with water, this will ensure there
are no air locks left in the system.
After running the engine, the water height should again be checked
and added to if necessary. Where there is'no bleed valve fitted the engine
should be run with the header tank filler cap removed following the same
procedure.
