GENERAL UPKEEP
Every
3,000
miles
remove the
dampers (indicated by arrows) and
replenish the dashpots with oil. The
oil level is correct when, utilizing
the damper as a dipstick its threaded
plug is approximately ¼
"
above the
dashpots,
when resistance is felt.
Apply oil to the thrott
l
e linkage but
do not oil the bearings of the trans-
verse rod attached to the bulkhead
as this will seriously deteriorate the
sealing compound.

The Oil Filter
The oil filter is designed to filter the
oil to a very fine degree. It will con-
tinue to do this provided that the old
cartridge (B) is removed and a new
replacement cartridge is fitted at periods
not exceeding 6,000 miles. Should this
operation be neglected, the cartridge
will become choked and unfiltered oil
will then be passed to the engine via the
balance valve in the filter. To renew the
cartridge,
unscrew the securing bolt
(C), remove the container and withdraw
the cartridge.
Wash out the container to remove
foreign matter trapped by the filter, and
discard the old container washer (A),
replacing it with a new one each time
the cartridge is renewed.
When re-
assembling the container, ensure that
the washer is correctly positioned in the
groove in the filter body.
Do not
tighten the bolt (C) more than is neces-
sary to obtain an oil-tight joint.
Drain
the engine oil and refill with fresh oil
before re-starting the engine.
