GENERAL MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LUCAS 12 VOLT
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AS FITTED TO A.C. COBRA
The electrical equipment is designed and manufactured to give long
periods of service without any need for adjustment or cleaning.
Normally very little attention is required to the electrical equipment
but for the benefit of those persons who desire, or find it necessary to carry
out their own electrical maintenance, the electrical components of the
Cobra are described in detail. It should be emphasized, however, that (
servicing of an advanced character may be carried out by the Lucas
Service Organization, who have agencies in all parts of the world.
COIL
The coil requires no routine attention other than checking the terminal
connections for security and cleaning the spaces around the terminals at
intervals as necessary.
CONTACT BREAKER
During the first 500 miles (800 krn.) running of a new car, the contact
breaker heel tends to bed down; it is therefore advisable to check the gap
at this stage.
It
is vitally important to keep the contact breaker points
clean, set to the correct gap and parallel to each other.
