sliding the holder backwards or forwards until
thee
light reaches its highest
point of brilliancy with total absence of shadows. Then tighten screw and
replace the
r,eflector and front.
Wiring Headlamps.-Remove the front and r'eflector as described in a
previous paragraph. Then depress the insulating washer on the
bulb holder
terminal against the spring until the cable hole is exposed.
Thread the
cable end through the hole, release the pressure on washer, when the
cable
will be securely held in position and good contact made. Cables should
not b'e pushed too far through the terminal, as there is a danger of shorting
on to the reflector or body of the lamp.
Side-lamps.-The fronts of the wing lamps are secured
h-,.
small grub
screws; when th'ese are removed the fronts can be withdrawn by first pulling
the top forward.
Tail-lamp.-The tail-lamp is fix'ed on to the car by means of a flanged
base. To replace a bulb turn the front portion of the lamp to the left and
withdraw it from its bas'e.
When replacing see that the studs locate with the slots in the lamp front,
then push it home to lock it in position.
Should it be necessary to re-wire
the tail-lamp, unscrew the coupling nut
"
B,"
when the cable covering shell
"
C
"
and the cable plug
"
D
"
can be withdrawn from the lamp; pass the
cable through the shell and the rubber washer
"
E."
Thread the bared end
of the lead into the terminal socket and secure by the screw
"
G."
Replace
the cable plug in its holder and secure by tightening the coupling nut
"
B."
Replacement
of
Bulbs.--When the replacement of any bulb is necessary
we strongly advise that I,ucas/Rotax bulbs are used. The filaments are
arranged to be in focus and give the best results with the lamps fitted. The
following are the correct bulbs to use :-Head lamps, E.A.S. No.
35;
Side
and tail lamps, B.A.S. No. 10s.
Cleaning Lamps.-The reflectors are protected by a transparent and
colourless covering, which enables any accidental finger marks to be removed
with chamois leather or a soft cloth without affecting the surface of
the reflector.
Do not use metal polishes on Lucas Reflectors.
Ebony black
lamps can be cleaned with a good car polish. Chromium plated lamps will
not tarnish and only need wiping over with a damp cloth to remove dust or
dirt.
Lucas
Altette Horn (Type H F318).-All elsectric horns, before b,eing
passed out of the Works, are adjustsed to give the best performance, and they
will give long periods of service without any attention; no subsequent ad-
justment is r,equired.
If the horn becomes uncertain in its action, giving only a choking sound,
or does not vibrate,
it
does not follow that the horn has broken down.
First
ascertain that the trouble is not due to some outside source, 'e.g.
a
discharged
b~ittery, a loose connection or short circuit in the wiring of the horn, or
a
blown fuse. It is also possible that the performance of a horn may be upset
by the horn becoming loose on its mounting.
If the cause of the trouble
cannot be located, do not attempt to dismantle the horn, but return it to a
Lucas/Rotax Service Depot for examination.
