anti-freeze, brake fluid, fuel,
windscreen washer additives,
lubricants, and various adhesives.
Particular care should be taken to
avoid unnecessary contact with used
engine oil. Always read carefully the
instructions printed on labels or
stamped on components and obey
them implicitly. Such instructions are
included for reasons of your health
and personal safety. Never disregard
them.
Fuel Tank Filling
Warning: Petroleum spirit is highly
flammable and in confined spaces is
also explosive and toxic. In the event
of inadvertent spillage, switch off
engine, use no naked flame or light.
Do no smoke.
Components Containing Asbestos
Safety Instructions
Warning: Certain components such as
front and rear brake pads, clutch
plates and brake bands in automatic
transmissions, heat shields and certain
gaskets fitted to your vehicle may
contain asbestos. Inhaling asbestos
dust is dangerous to health.
The following safety instructions must
therefore be observed when working
with these components:
Wear a protective breathing mask
suitable for asbestos dust. Never use
an airline to blow dust from
components. Clean friction
components using methylated spirit.
Replace worn components with
recommended replacements. Operate
if possible out of doors or in a well
ventilated place. Preferably use hand
tools or low speed tools equipped, if
necessary, with an appropriate dust
extraction facility. If high speed tools
are used, they should always be so
equipped. If possible, dampen before
cutting or drilling. Dampen dust and
place in a properly closed receptacle
and dispose of it safely.
Servicing and Adjustments
The importance of regular servicing
cannot be over-stressed. Your local
dealer can offer the full range of
facilities and maintain your car to a
high standard. With the increase in
high technology engine management,
the level of equipment and method of
adjustment for engine running has
become more complex. It is essential
that the correct equipment is used
when re-tuning a Morgan engine. The
wrong testing equipment can cause
expensive failure in electronic controls
and seriously affect the engine
workings.
Some of the items in this book may
be carried out by the owner, with
advice from your Morgan dealer or
the factory.
Caution: Never undertake any work
you are not certain of. Never make
modifications to standard equipment,
especially safety related modifications
such as brakes, seat belts or steering.
Warning: You are ultimately
responsible for the safety of your car.
You should always discuss changes to
specification with your dealer or the
factory.
Slow running and mixture control
The tick-over and mixture adjustment
are both linked in the fuel injection
engine and cannot be altered, other
than by use of the proper test
equipment. This should be carried out
by an approved Morgan Garage.
