the supporting bracket for the oil gauge unit.
2. Check that the pump ( 1 ) f o,,v pivrv ur,il 1 and the
rubber piping clue not soiled with oil.
If they are. replace the pump. and blow through
pipes with compressed air. 3. Filling the gauge :
WARNING : This operation is to be carried out
with great care so as to fill the gauge with LHM
Fluid which is not emtilsified.
- Disconnect tube (2 ) from the unit so as to get
to the filler orifice o b 11.
- Undo completely the calibrating screw ( marked
with (IIPXJ ) to allow the gauge to be adjusted on
completion of the operation.

The stopscrew for 3rd gear can be adjusted SK the vehicle.
Carry this out as follows : Slacken locknut ( 1 ) and stopscrew (2 ). Engage 3rd gear. Bring stop-screw i 2 1 into
contact with the selector shaft. and tighten l/2 a turn, which affords a clearance of a.4 to Cl.7 mm.
Tighten lockfiut ( 1) and disengage gear.
NOTE : Adjusting the stop-screw for 2nd gear
con only be carried out with the gearbox removed
from the vehicle. To adjust it, proceed in exactly I
the same manner as for 3rd gear. Checking and adjusting the contacts :
1.
Remove cover ( 3) from the switch unit controliinq
the electro-valve. 2. Check adjustment of contact gaps :
Proceed in the same way far each of the 4 contacts.
a) Engage a gear.
WARNING In order to obtain correct opening
of a contact, the corresponding gear must be
fully engaged. otherwise the adjustment would
not be correct.
b) Check the contact gap corresponding to the
gear engaged, using a set of feeler gauges : Contact gap :

move this contact along its slot.
Tighten screw ( 5) from 0.35 to 0.4 doNm

IMPORTANT : This adjustment must be carried
out with precision, otherwise, the clutch might
disengage at times without the gear lever
having been touched.

Turn engine to obtain cut-out pressure.
Stop engine.
Operate brake pedal until the hydraulic pressure

Attbat point, read off pressure on pressure gauge.
This should be between 75

If not, change the pressure switch.
10. Checking the Front suspension : Slacken.pressure regulator bleed screw.

Tighten pressure regulator bleed screw.
Start engine.
Put manual height control in

out takes place.
Allow pressure to stabilize.
Stop engine.
Examine pressure gauge and note pressure drop
during wperiod of 3
minutes. If it exceeds 10 bars
( 145 psi 1, check once more.
If the result is confirmed check the following
c?mponenG to determine which one is leaking :
either the front corrector
or the suspension cylinders (one or both ).
Testing the 3 components should be carried out by
eliminating each one in turn.
(I) Testing the front height cmwclor : Loosen pressure regulator bleed saew.
Put manual control in

Allow pressure to stabilize.
Stop engine.
Read off pressure drop on pressure qtruqe.
If this drop in pressure is greater than
10 bars (

test. If the result is confirmed, the front height
corrector is defective : change it.

VI. CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE STEERING GEOMETRY
The crossmember supporting the steering has slots at its fixing point on the front subframe.
Any vertical movement of this crossmember alters the steering geometry.
WARNING
This operation is only to
be carried out in certain ccxses such as
-accidental impact, with repercussions on the steering system.
-work on the vehicle entoiling removal of steering crossmember.
- vehicle with poor
road stability ( p oar stright-line stability) 01 with excessive tyre weor.
