E,lrly mOdels were filled with a pre ssure diHerent ial switch to illurnin~to ~ wolfning l igh t on the in stru men t pilnel in the event 01 a drop in preSsure in eithe/the Iron t 0/ rear hydraul ic circui ts . The switch ir- "'rporates 1I piSton which is kept 'in b alanco' if the pres sures in tho I. and roar ci,cui ts are equal. Howeve/, rl there is a pressure drop in
one circuit. t he pisto n is displaced and the switc h con tacts close .
2 The switc h is loca ted on tha lowe, left .hand side of the eng ine comp,Htrnent and a lthough it was once possible \0 obtain new in ternal
seals these are no longer available. Th e switch may be renewed alone (without Iho hyd,au lic body) by disconnecting the wiring and unsc rewing it .
3 To rernovo the hydraulic body. first tigh t
