DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The flame is bright, and eye protection should be - used, but the ultra-violet emission is much less
than that from arc welding, and lighter filters may
be used.
The process itself produces few toxic fumes, but
such fumes and gases may be produced from
coatings on the work, particularly during cutting
away of damaged body parts, and inhalation of the
fumes should be avoided.
In brazing, toxic fumes may be produced from the
metals in the brazing rod, and a severe hazard
may arise if brazing rods containing cadmium are
used. In this event particular care must be taken

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
RoadIRoller Testing
I Road or roller testing may be carried out for various
reasons and a procedure detailing pre-test checks,
engine starting and stopping, pre-driving checks,
on-test checks and final checks to be completed
on completion of the test is given below.
Unless complete vehicle performance is being
checked, the full road test procedure need not be
carried out. Instead, those items particularly
relevant to the
system(s) being checked can be
extracted.
Pre-Test Checks
A WARNING:lf the brake system hydraulic
fluid level is low, pedal travel is excessive
or a hydraulic leak is found, do not attempt
to road test the vehicle until the reason for
the low fluid level, excessive pedal travel
or hydraulic leak is found and rectified.
It is suggested that pre-test checks and functional
tests of those systems and circuits which affect the
safe and legal operations of the vehicle, such as
( , brakes, lights and steering, should always be
carried out before the road or roller test.
With the ignition switched off, check:
- the engine oil level.
- the engine coolant level.
- the tires, for correct pressure, compatible types
and tread patterns, and wear within limits.
- that there is sufficient fuel in the tank to
complete the test.
- all around the engine, transmission and under
the vehicle for oil, coolant, hydraulic and fuel
leaks. Make a note of any apparent leaks and
wipe off the surrounding areas to make it easier
to identify the extent of the leak on completion
of the test.
Starting the Engine
N0TE:On initial drive away from cold and within
the first 1.5 km (1 mile), do not depress the
accelerator pedal beyond half travel until the
vehicle has attained a minimum speed of
25 kmlh
(15 mileslh). Never operate at high engine speed
or with the accelerator pedal at full travel whilst the
engine is cold.
With the ignition switched off, check:
- that the parking brake is applied.
- that the gear lever is in the neutral position.
- that all instrument gauges (except fuel gauge)
read zero.
With the ignition switched on, check:
- that the ignition controlled warning lamps are
illuminated.
- that the engine temperature gauge registers a reading compatible with the engine temperature.
- that the fuel gauge registers a reading
appropriate to the fuel level in the tank.
- the operation of the parking brake warning lamp
and fluid level warning indicator.
Road or Roller Testing
A CAUTI0N:lf road testing, check the brake
operation while still traveling at low speed
before continuing with the test. If the
brakes pull to one side, or appear to be
otherwise faulty, do not continue with the
road test until the fault has been found and
rectified.
During the road or roller test, check:
- that the clutch pedal operation is not stiff or
heavy.
- that the initial gear engagement is smooth and
there is no evidence of clutch drag.
- that the parking brake control operates smoothly
and releases quickly and completely.
- that the clutch takes up the drive smoothly,
without slip or judder.
- that gear changing is smooth with no abnormal
noises or vibrations from the transmission.
- the engine power output is satisfactory, full
power is achieved, acceleration is smooth and
pedal operation is not stiff or heavy, and engine
speed returns to idle correctly.
- there is no excessive or abnormally colored
smoke from the engine under normal driving,
heavy load or overrun conditions.
- that steering operation, including power steering
(if equipped), is smooth, accurate, not
excessively heavy or with excessive free play
or vibration.
- that the steering does not pull to one side and
self centers smoothly after cornering.

Brake Testing
A WARNING:When brake testing, avoid
breathing the fumes from hot brakes, this
may contain asbestos dust which is
hazardous to health. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in personal injury.
For additional information, refer to: Health
and Safety Precautions
(1 00-00 General
Information, Description and Operation).
CAUTIONS:
A Avoid brake testing on busy roads where
it may cause inconvenience or danger to
other road users.
A Brake testing which includes heavy brake
applications should not be carried out with
new brake
padsldiscs or liningsldrums
until the components have bedded-in. New
brake friction components will not reach
full efficiency until the bedding-in process
is complete.
Test the brakes at several speeds within the normal
operating range using both light and heavy pedal
pressure. Note any tendency to snatch, pull or
drag, and any undue delay in application or
release.
Allow the vehicle to coast and note any tendency
to pull to one side, or evidence that the brakes are
binding.
After stopping the vehicle (not immediately after a
period of heavy braking), carefully check the brake
temperature.
A brake disc or brake drum that feels
hot or is appreciably hotter than the others,
indicates that the brake is binding.
After completion of the test, check for:
