Dynamo and Starter
The dynamo
front bearing is packed with grease before leaving the works,
and after a
coilsiderable mileage the dynamo should be removed for clean-
ing, adjustment and repacking of the bearing with grease. This should
be done preferably by the nearest
Doretti or Lucas Service Dzpot. Every
10,000 miles (16,000 km.) pour a few drops of engine oil through the hole
in the centre of the rear end cap.
The Starter
is fitted with special bearings which require no lubrication.
Air Cleaners.
In order to ensure effective filtering of the air, every 5,000
miles (8,000 km.) it is advisable to remove the air cleaners and wash in
petrol, particularly the gauzes, after which soak the gauzes in oil and allow
to drain before finally wiping over and refitting. It is very important to
refit the air cleaners in the correct manner. Ensure that the holes im-
mediately above the setscrew holes in the carburettor are lined up with
the similarly positioned holes in the cleaner.
Oil Filler Cap.
Every 5,000 miles (8,000 km.) remove and swill the cap
in fuel, dry
OR and refit.
CLUTCH SHAFT BEARINGS
The grease gun should be applied to the clutch shaft bearing grease nipples
(one at each side of the clutch housing) every 5,000 miles. The nipples are
accessible from underneath the car. [See arrow

Fig. 17, page 301.
CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDAL BEARINGS
The oil can should be applied to the various members of the pedal linkages,
both under the bonnet and in the driving compartment.
