RUNNING ADJUSTMENTS
The front telescopic dampers fitted do not require any adjustment or topping
up. If the dampers are removed, or for some reason new ones are fitted, it is
advisable to hold them the right way up (in the case of the rear dampers
check the level of the fluid and replenish if necessary), then pump the pistons
to
each end of the stroke. This pumping action dispels any air which may
have entered the chambers. After this operation check the fluid level in the
rear dampers, and in both cases keep the dampers the right way up until
they are fitted into place.
LOOSE
BOLTS
AND
NUTS
All the vital nuts are locked in position by split pins, locking wire, or by an
additional lock nut or lock washer.
It
is, however, desirabIe that the car should
be examined
every
6,000
miles
(10,000
km.) so that if any nut is found to be
loose it may be tightened. The wheel nuts can periodically be checked by
the owner himself and occasionally removed,
oiled and refitted.
The general
examination of the chassis is a mechanic's job.
