Waste Management
One of the major ways that pollution can be reduced
is by the careful handling, storage and disposal of all
waste materials that occur on sites. Legislation
makes it illegal to dispose of waste materials other
than to licensed waste carriers and disposal sites.
This means that it is necessary to not only know what
the waste materials are, but also to have the
necessary documentation and licenses.
Handling and storage of waste
Ensure that waste materials are not poured down the
drain or onto soils. They should be stored in such a
way as to prevent the escape of the material to land,
water or air.
They must also be segregated into different types of
waste e.g. oil, metals, batteries, used vehicle
components. This will prevent any reaction between
different materials and assist in disposal.Disposal of waste
Disposal of waste materials must only be to waste
carriers who are licensed to carry those particular
waste materials and all the necessary
documentation must be completed. The waste
carrier is responsible for ensuring that the waste is
taken to the correct disposal sites.
Dispose of waste in accordance with the following
guidelines.
lFuel, hydraulic fluid, anti-freeze and oil: keep
separate and dispose of to specialist contractor.
lRefrigerant: collect in specialist equipment and
reuse.
lDetergents: safe to pour down the foul drain if
diluted.
lPaint, thinners: keep separate and dispose of
to specialist contractor.
lComponents: send back to supplier for
refurbishment, or disassemble and reuse any
suitable parts. Dispose of the remainder in
ordinary waste.
lSmall parts: reuse any suitable parts, dispose
of the remainder in ordinary waste.
lMetals: can be sold if kept separate from
general waste.
lTyres: keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lPackaging: compact as much as possible and
dispose of in ordinary waste.
lAsbestos-containing: keep separate and
dispose of to specialist contractor.
lOily and fuel wastes (e.g. rags, used spill kit
material): keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lAir filters: keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lRubber/plastics: dispose of in ordinary waste.
lHoses: dispose of in ordinary waste.
lBatteries: keep separate and dispose of to
specialist contractor.
lAirbags - explosives: keep separate and
dispose of to specialist contractor.
lElectrical components: send back to supplier
for refurbishment, or disassemble and reuse
any suitable parts. Dispose of the remainder in
ordinary waste.
lElectronic components: send back to supplier
for refurbishment, or disassemble and reuse
any suitable parts. Dispose of the remainder in
ordinary waste.
lCatalysts: can be sold if kept separate from
general waste
lUsed spill-absorbing material: keep separate
and dispose of to specialist contractor.
lOffice waste: recycle paper and toner and ink
cartridges, dispose of the remainder in ordinary
waste.

General Fitting Instructions
Component removal
Whenever possible, clean components and
surrounding area before removal.
lBlank off openings exposed by component
removal.
lImmediately seal fuel, oil or hydraulic lines when
apertures are exposed; use plastic caps or
plugs to prevent loss of fluid and ingress of dirt.
lClose the open ends of oilways exposed by
component removal with tapered hardwood
plugs or conspicuous plastic plugs.
lImmediately a component is removed, place it in
a suitable container; use a separate container
for each component and its associated parts.
lClean bench and provide marking materials,
labels and containers before dismantling a
component.
Dismantling
Observe scrupulous cleanliness when dismantling
components, particularly when brake, fuel or
hydraulic system parts are being worked on. A
particle of dirt or a cloth fragment could cause a
serious malfunction if trapped in these systems.
lBlow out all tapped holes, crevices, oilways and
fluid passages with an air line. Ensure that any
'O' rings used for sealing are correctly replaced
or renewed, if disturbed during the process.
lUse marking ink to identify mating parts and
ensure correct reassembly. Do not use a centre
punch or scriber to mark parts, they could
initiate cracks or distortion in marked
components.
lWire together mating parts where necessary to
prevent accidental interchange (e.g. roller
bearing components).
lWire labels on to all parts which are to be
renewed, and to parts requiring further
inspection before being passed for reassembly;
place these parts in separate containers from
those containing parts for rebuild.
lDo not discard a part due for renewal until after
comparing it with a new part, to ensure that its
correct replacement has been obtained.Cleaning components
Always use the recommended cleaning agent or
equivalent. Ensure that adequate ventilation is
provided when volatile degreasing agents are being
used. Do not use degreasing equipment for
components containing items which could be
damaged by the use of this process.
General inspection
All components should be inspected for wear or
damage before being reassembled.
lNever inspect a component for wear or
dimensional check unless it is absolutely clean;
a slight smear of grease can conceal an
incipient failure.
lWhen a component is to be checked
dimensionally against recommended values,
use the appropriate measuring equipment
(surface plates, micrometers, dial gauges etc.).
Ensure the measuring equipment is calibrated
and in good serviceable condition.
lReject a component if its dimensions are
outside the specified tolerances, or if it appears
to be damaged.
lA part may be refitted if its critical dimension is
exactly to its tolerance limit and it appears to be
in satisfactory condition. Use 'Plastigauge' 12
Type PG-1 for checking bearing surface
clearances.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-9
Joints and Joint Faces
General
Fit joints dry unless specified otherwise.
lAlways use the correct gaskets as specified.
lWhen jointing compound is used, apply in a thin
uniform film to metal surfaces; take care to
prevent jointing compound from entering
oilways, pipes or blind tapped holes.
lIf gaskets and/or jointing compound is
recommended for use; remove all traces of old
jointing material prior to reassembly. Do not use
a tool which will damage the joint faces and
smooth out any scratches or burrs using an oil
stone. Do not allow dirt or jointing material to
enter any tapped holes or enclosed parts.
lPrior to reassembly, blow through any pipes,
channels or crevices with compressed air.
Locking Devices
General
Always replace locking devices with one of the same
design.
Tab washers
Always release locking tabs and fit new locking
washers. Do not re-use locking tabs.
Locking nuts
Always use a backing spanner when loosening or
tightening locking nuts, brake and fuel pipe unions.
Roll pins
Always fit new roll pins of an interference fit in the
hole.
Circlips
Always fit new circlips of the correct size for the
groove.
Keys and keyways
Remove burrs from edges of keyways with a fine file
and clean thoroughly before attempting to refit key.
Clean and inspect key closely; keys are suitable for
refitting only if indistinguishable from new, as any
indentation may indicate the onset of wear.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-14
Fuel system hoses
All fuel hoses are made up of two laminations, an
armoured rubber outer sleeve and an inner viton
core. If any of the fuel system hoses have been
disconnected, it is imperative that the internal bore is
inspected to ensure that the viton lining has not
become separated from the armoured outer sleeve.
A new hose must be fitted if separation is evident.
Cooling system hoses
The following precautions MUST be followed to
ensure that integrity of cooling hoses and their
connections to system components are
maintained. Hose orientation and connection
Correct orientation of cooling hoses is important in
ensuring that the hose does not become fatigued or
damaged through contact with adjacent
components. Where 'timing' marks (2) are provided
on the hose and corresponding connection, these
must be used to ensure correct orientation. Hoses
must be pushed fully onto their connection points.
Usually, a moulded form (3) on the stub pipe
provides a positive indicator.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Fuel Handling Precautions
Fuel vapour is highly flammable and in confined
spaces is also explosive and toxic. The vapour is
heavier than air and will always fall to the lowest
level. The vapour can be easily distributed
throughout a workshop by air currents;
consequently, even a small spillage of fuel is
potentially very dangerous.
The following information provides basic precautions
which must be observed if fuel is to be handled
safely. It also outlines other areas of risk which must
not be ignored. This information is issued for basic
guidance only, if in doubt consult your local Fire
Officer.
General
Always have a fire extinguisher containing FOAM,
CO
2, GAS or POWDER close at hand when handling
or draining fuel or when dismantling fuel systems.
Fire extinguishers should also be located in areas
where fuel containers are stored.
Always disconnect the vehicle battery before
carrying out dismantling or draining work on a fuel
system.
Whenever fuel is being handled, drained or stored, or
when fuel systems are being dismantled, all forms of
ignition must be extinguished or removed; any
leadlamps must be flameproof and kept clear of
spillage.
WARNING: No one should be permitted to repair
components associated with fuel without first
having specialist training.
WARNING: Do not remove fuel system
components while the vehicle is over a pit.
Fuel tank draining
Fuel tank draining should be carried out in
accordance with the procedure outlined in the FUEL
DELIVERY section of this manual and observing the
following precautions.
WARNING: Fuel must not be extracted or drained
from any vehicle while it is over a pit. Extraction
or draining of fuel must be carried out in a well
ventilated area.
The capacity of containers must be more than
adequate for the amount of fuel to be extracted or
drained. The container should be clearly marked
with its contents and placed in a safe storage
area which meets the requirements of local
authority regulations.Fuel tank removal
When the fuel line is secured to the fuel tank outlet by
a spring steel clip, the clip must be released before
the fuel line is disconnected or the fuel tank is
removed. This procedure will avoid the possibility of
fumes in the fuel tank being ignited when the clip is
released.
As an added precaution, fuel tanks should have a
'FUEL VAPOUR' warning label attached to them as
soon as they are removed from the vehicle.
Fuel tank repairs - plastic tank
No attempt should be made to repair a plastic fuel
tank. If the structure of the tank is damaged, a new
tank must be fitted.
Body repairs
Plastic fuel pipes are particularly susceptible to heat,
even at relatively low temperature, and can be
melted by heat conducted from some distance away.
When body repairs involve the use of heat, all fuel
pipes which run in the vicinity of the repair area must
be removed, and the tank outlet plugged.
WARNING: If welding is to be carried out in the
vicinity of the fuel tank, the fuel system must be
drained and the tank removed before welding
commences.
