SERVICING
14 Steering (mechanical steering)
15 Servo steering
The oil level in the steering box should be
checked after every 10 000 km (6000 miles).
The oil level should be up to the filler plug.
I f necessary, top up with new oil. As a
rule, the oil in the steering box does not
need to be changed except during overhauling. Should the oil for any reason need
to be changed, the old oil should be sucked up by means of an oil syringe which is
i nserted down into the filler hole.
The oil level in the servo steering should
be checked every 10 000 km (6000 miles).
Before checking wipe the oil container
clean. Then remove the cap and check the
l evel with the engine not running. The oil
l evel should be about 5-10 mm ('/4") above
the level mark in the container. If the level
i s lower than this, top up with oil, with the
engine stopped to prevent air from being
sucked into the container. Start the engine
and recheck the oil level, which should
now fall to the level mark. When the engine
stops, the level should rise to about 5-10
1
mm ( /a") above the mark.
The oil and filter in the servo steering do
not need replacing other than during repairs or reconditioning.
16 Brake fluid
The brake system is provided with two
brake fluid containers, one for each circuit.
The brake fluid level should be checked at
regular intervals and should be between
the "Max" and "Min" marks.
( On a right-hand steered vehicle the clutch
fluid container should be almost filled to
the top with brake fluid.)
Use only brake fluids conforming to
specification 70 R 3 for the hydraulic
brake system.
