Every 6,000 miles or 6 months (2) ENGINE. Drain and rell with new oil. (3) ENGINE OIL FILTER. Remove disposable cartridge, t new. (4) CARBURETTERS. Top up carburetter piston dampers. (S) THROTTLE AND CHOKE. Lubricate throttle and choke control linkages, cables, and accelerator pedal fulcrum. (6) DISTRIBUTOR. Lubricate all parts as necessary. (7) REAR AXLE. Check oil level, and top up if necessary. (8) GEARBOX AND OVERDRIVE. Check oil level and top up if necessary. (9) PROPELLER SHAFT (1 nipple) (10) FRONT SUSPENSION (6 nipples) }Give three or four strokes with a grease gun. (11) HAND BRAKE CABLE (1 nipple) Lubricate all door, bonnet, boot locks and hinges and hand brake mechanical linkage. Every 24,000 miles or 24 months (12) GEARBOX WITH OVERDRlVE. Drain, clean overdrive ltersrefer to page 39. Lubrication service at 3,000 miles or 3 months (2) ENGINE. Drain and rell with new oil. (5) THROTTLE AND CHOKE.

Recommended oils and greases are given in the WORKSHOP MAN- UAL (Part 3), page 392. EDITORS NOTES J. Cooling System Anti-freeze solutions You can check the specific gravity of the coolant solution by using an anti-freeze hydrometer. With this instrument, a quantity of coolant is sucked in and the position of a glass oat indicates the specific gravity of the solution, usually in terms of the temper- ature at which ice begins to form. A more thorough job of ushing can be done if the thermostat is removed from its housing and the housing reinstalled before flushing. K. Wheels and Tires Tire maintenance Vulcanizing IS a process of tire repair in which a patch is applied under heat and pressure. L. Brakes Brake and clutch master cylinder Only the brake uids specified should be used. Other brake fluids may have a lower boiling point and will boil in disc brake systems under hard usage. This can cause temporary malfunction until the uid has cooled (pedal will feel spongy). M. Electrical Battery Do not use a naked light, or open ame, when examining the condition of the cells. The reason for this is that hydrogen and oxygen gases are produced under normal charging conditions and the mixture of these two gases in the proper proportions is explo- swe. N. Ignition Checking ignition timing The spark timing may be set with a commercially available timing light. A ash occurs every time the No. 1 cylinder fires, illuminating the timing marks at the crankshaft pulley. The en- gine should be run at the rpm specified in General Data and the knurled nut adjusted until-the setting corresponds to that listed in General Data for the engine type you are working with. 42
