P.1 DAILY SERVICE
ENGINE (A) Inspect the oil level in the engine, and refill if necessary to the *MAX' mark on the
dipstick. The oil filler cap is on top of the exhaust camshaft cover and is released by turning it anti-
clockwise.
P.2 1,000 MILES (1600 Km.) SERVICE
Carry out the instructions detailed in Section P.1 and then continue with the following.
STEERING GEAR (C)
Lubrication nipples are provided at the top and bottom of each swivel pin and on the steering tie-rods.
The gun filled to Ref. C should be applied to the nipples and three or four strokes given.
PROPELLER SHAFT (C)
The two needle-type universal joints and the front end sliding yoke should receive lubrication to Ref. C
The front end of the propeller shaft is provided with two lubrication nipples and there is also one at the
rear.
GEARBOX (A)
Top up the oil level and ensure that the gearbox is not filled above the "HIGH" mark on the dipstick. If
the level is too high oil may get into the clutch case and cause clutch slip. The combined filler plug and
dipstick are located beneath the rubber plug in the gearbox cover.
REAR AXLE (B)
The combined filler and level plug is reached from below the rear of the car. The oil should be
replenished if necessary to the level of the filler plug hole. (See Fig. P.10).
