LIFTING AND TOWING
08-2
Raising the front of a vehicle
Position the cup of the hydraulic arm under the
centre of the front body crossmember assembly.
Use jack to raise front road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the front end of each
longitudinal member.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
NOTE: For some repair operations it may be
necessary to use a jack to support the engine under
the sump. In this case, a block of wood should be
used on the jack to protect the sump.
Raising the rear of a vehicle
Position cup of hydraulic arm under the centre of the
rear subframe crossmember at the position
identified by the embossed arrows.
Use jack to raise rear road wheels to enable safety
stands to be installed under the rear ends of the
body longitudinal members.
Carefully lower jack until vehicle sits securely on
safety stands.
Before working on the underside of a vehicle, re-
check the stability of the vehicle on the stands.
Use the reverse procedure when removing a vehicle
from stands.
Wheel-free lift
Locate the lifting pads under the ends of the body
longitudinal members. Raise the ramp to support the
weight of the vehicle, ensure the vehicle is secure on
the lifting pads, then raise the ramp to the required
height.
Towing
General
The vehicle has permanent four wheel drive. The
following instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver
operating steering and brakes
lTurn ignition key to position '1' to release
steering lock and then to position 'II' to enable
the brake lights, wipers and direction indicators
to be operated, if necessary.
l Select neutral in gearbox and ensure HDC (hill
descent control) is deselected.
lSecure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
lRelease the parking brake.
CAUTION: The brake servo and power assisted
steering system will not be functional without the
engine running. Greater pedal pressure will be
required to apply the brakes and the steering
system will require greater effort to turn the front
road wheels. The vehicle tow connection should
only be used under normal road conditions,
'snatch' recovery should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
Mark propeller shaft drive flanges and mating flanges
with identification lines to enable the propeller shaft
to be refitted in its original position.
Remove the propeller shaft fixings then remove the
shaft from the vehicle.
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage, rear
propeller shaft MUST BE removed.

Seats and Seat Belts
Check
1.Check seat frames are secured to floor and
show no signs of movement.
2.Check operation of seat slide and tilt
mechanisms, ensuring there is no excessive
play between seat cushion and seat back.
3.Check tightness of accessible seat fixings.
4.Fully extract seat belt and allow it to return
under its own recoil mechanism.
5.Check entire length of seat belt webbing for
signs of fraying or damage. Repeat for all belts.
6.Check security of seat belt upper mountings.
7.Check for correct operation of seat belt height
adjusters.
8.Check security of seat belt buckle mountings.
9.Connect each belt to the correct buckle, check
seat belt buckle and tongue are secure.
Release seat belt buckle and check for correct
operation.
10.Check tightness of accessible seat belt
mountings.
Lamps, Horns and Warning Indicators
Check
1.Switch on side, head and tail lights and check
operation.
2.Check headlamp dim/dip operation.
3.Check headlamp levelling operation.
4.Check turn signals and hazard warning lights
operation.
5.Press brake pedal and check operation of
brake lights.
6.Check all exterior lamp lenses for clarity and
condition. Pay particular attention to head lamp
lenses for signs of stone chips or damage.
7.Check horn for loud clear sound.
8.Check operation of all instrument pack warning
and indicator lights.
9.Check for correct operation of interior courtesy
lights.
10.Switch on headlamps (with ignition switch at 'O'
position) and check light reminder warning
operates when door is opened.

Brake Shoes
1.With the vehicle at a convenient working height,
remove the rubber plugs from the rear of the
back plate.
2.Using a lamp, inspect thickness of rear brake
shoes.
NOTE: Any requirement to replace brake shoes
should be advised to the customer as this will
be subject to additional labour and/or material
cost and should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.
3.Check for any signs of brake fluid
contamination on brake shoes, or evidence of
brake fluid leakage from drum/backplate.
4.Ensure that rubber plug is correctly fitted into
back plate upon completion of check.Brake Drums
1.With vehicle at a convenient working height and
the wheels removed, remove the rear brake
drums.

+ BRAKES, REPAIRS, Drum - rear.
2.Check brake shoe thickness, and condition of
brake shoes for any evidence of contamination
from brake fluid.
3.Check brake drum for signs of cracking,
excessive scoring or oil contamination.
NOTE: Any requirements to replace brake
shoes, wheel cylinders or brake drums should
be advised to the customer as this will be
subject to additional labour and/or material cost
and should not be carried out without the
authorisation of the customer.
4.Using brake cleaner, remove excessive
deposits of brake dust from drums, shoes and
back plate.
5.Refit drums.
