Ch eek the fol lowing levels and pressures:
Check the
fluid level in the steering pump reservoir;
top-up
if necessary.
Check the
fluid level in the steering idler box
damper; top-up
if necessary.
Check
the level and specific gravity of the
engine
coolant; correct as necessary.
Check the
fluid level in the windscreen
washer reservoir
and top-up if necessary.
Run the engine for four minutes then check the
I eve Is of the hydrau Ii c systems reservoirs; top·up
if necessary with the recommended fluid.
Check and if necessary adjust the tyre
pressures. Inspect the tread depth of al I tyres; al so
inspect the tyres
for damage. Report any defects to
the Owner.
21. Test: Road test the car for satisfactory
performance.
Every 40 000 kilometres (24 000 miles) or 2
years whichever
is the earlier
In addition to the 20 000 kilometres (12 000 miles)
service schedule carry out the fol I owing.
In the case of Carburetters,
Final drive unit,
Propeller shaft and the Torque converter transmission
the
servicing necessary is listed in this schedule
therefore, the
20 000 kilometres (12 000 miles) service
schedule should not be consulted for these items.
