clocks, radios and immobiliser
systems, if the car is standing for
anything more than 2 weeks. It is
recommended that a battery
conditioner is used to maintain the
battery condition while the car is not
being run.
If the battery for some reason is
completely flat, it should not be fast
charged with a high ampage input,
but a trickle charge of around 1-2
amps should be used. If the battery is
charged with a high input, then it will
damage the cells inside the battery
and the battery will become faulty.
Battery conditioners are available
from your Morgan Dealer under part
number MMM1044 for 240 vault
systems and MMM1043 for 110
systems.
Fuse Box
The fuse box is mounted under the
dashboard, on the metal front, above
and to the right of the gear lever. Next
to the box is a card showing which
number fuse protects which circuit.
Each fuse is marked with its correct
rate.
Warning: Never use a different rate
fuse to repair a circuit. Never attempt
to repair fuses with wire or other
items. Control relays are fitted near
the fuse box or on the front of the
tool box under the bonnet.
Injection Inertia Switch
This is located on the bulk head under
the bonnet next to the heater. In the
event of an impact this switch will
operate and isolate the fuel pump.
When this switch has operated a light
will show on the dashboard. After the
fuel system has been inspected for
damage, this switch can be reset by
pressing the button on top of the unit.
Headlamp Beam Setting
This operation should be carried out
every 10,000 miles (16,000km), but is
best left in the hands of your garage.
They can however be set reasonably
accurately as follows:
Place the car 25ft (7.6m) away from a
blank wall, taking care that the car
stands on a level surface, and that the
front of the car is parallel to the wall.
The car must be unladen. Do this job
at night, or pick a spot which is well
shaded, so that the light spots thrown
by the lamps can be clearly seen.
When correctly set the light spots
from the lamps should be 2½"
(63mm) below the centre of the
headlamps. The beams should also be
parallel with each other. If they
require adjustment, remove the
moulding surrounding the lamp – and
the beam adjustment screws will be
exposed.
The top screw controls vertical
adjustment and the lower screw the
horizontal adjustment. It is preferable
to start with the screws well in so that
the moulding does not interfere with
them when replaced.
Headlights
The headlights are of the Halogen
type with H4 12 volt clear bulbs
(export yellow).
To renew the headlight bulb, remove
the screw at the base of the rim and
the complete rim. Undo the three
crosshead screws and carefully pull
the lens forward. Remove the rubber
cover and the wiring socket. Unclip
the bulb spring and remove the bulb.
Do not touch the glass of the new
bulb when fitting.
