UPKEEP-Lubrication
Fig.

Propeller shaft lubrication.
REAR
ROAD SPRINGS
The spring blades should be sprayed with penetrating oil and afterwards
painted over with rear axle or engine oil particularly around the blade tips
and clips.
Rubber bushes are fitted in all the rear spring eyes and must not be lubricated.
HYDRAULIC DAMPERS
The front telescopic dampers do not require
"
topping up."
The rear dampers should be topped up with the specified fluid to the level
of the bottom of the plug hole every 10,000 miles (16,000 km.). It is
absolutely essential for the proper functioning of the dampers that dirt is
prevented from finding its way into the interior. If the dampers become
inoperative they should be
serviced by the makers.
HINGES, CONTROLS, DOOR LOCKS, ETC.
The bonnet catches, hinges and several small control joints should be given
occasional attention with the oil can. Door locks should receive a drop of oil
every month to ensure easy operation and to prevent corrosion. The connec-
tions on the handbrake and ratchet mechanism, etc., all require attention to
allow the controls to work freely and prevent unnecessary wear.
