Environmental Protection Precautions
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down
sewers or drains, or into water courses.
Burning of used engine oil in small space heaters or
boilers should only be considered for units of
approved design and in compliance with the
equipment manufacturer's recommendations. The
heating system must meet the regulatory standards
of HMIP for small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in
doubt check with the appropriate local authority and/
or manufacturer of the approved appliance.
Dispose of used oil and filters through authorised
waste disposal contractors and licensed waste
disposal sites, or through the waste oil reclamation
trade. If in doubt, contact the Local Authority for
advice on disposal facilities.
Safety instructions
Whenever possible, use a lift or pit when working
beneath vehicle, in preference to jacking. Chock
wheels as well as applying parking brake.
Jacking
Always use the recommended jacking points. The
recommended jacking points are shown in
theLIFTING AND TOWING sub-section of the
INFORMATION section.
Always ensure that any lifting apparatus has
sufficient load capacity for the weight to be lifted.
Ensure the vehicle is standing on level ground prior
to lifting or jacking.
Apply the handbrake and chock the wheels.
WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle
supported only by a jack. Always support the
vehicle on safety stands.
Do not leave tools, lifting equipment, spilt oil, etc.,
around or on the work bench area. Always keep a
clean and tidy work area.
Brake shoes and pads
Always fit the correct grade and specification of
brake linings. When renewing brake pads and brake
shoes always replace as complete axle sets only.

Brake hydraulics
Observe the following recommendations when
working on the brake system:
lAlways use two spanners when loosening or
tightening brake pipe or hose connections.
lEnsure that hoses run in a natural curve and are
not kinked or twisted.
lFit brake pipes securely in their retaining clips
and ensure that the pipe run cannot contact a
potential chafing point.
lContainers used for hydraulic brake fluid must
be kept absolutely clean.
lDo not store hydraulic brake fluid in an unsealed
container, it will absorb water and in this
condition would be dangerous to use due to a
lowering of its boiling point.
lDo not allow hydraulic brake fluid to be
contaminated with mineral oil, or put new
hydraulic brake fluid in a container which has
previously contained mineral oil.
lDo not re-use hydraulic brake fluid previously
removed from the system.
lAlways use clean brake fluid or a recommended
alternative to clean hydraulic components.
lFit a blanking cap to a hydraulic union and a
plug to its socket, immediately after
disconnection of pipes and hoses to prevent the
ingress of dirt.
lAbsolute cleanliness must be observed when
working with hydraulic components.
lIt is imperative that the correct brake fittings are
used and that threads of components are
compatible.
Cooling system caps and plugs
Extreme care is necessary when removing engine
cooling system expansion tank caps and coolant
drain or bleed screws when the engine is hot, and
especially if it is overheated.
To avoid the possibility of scalding allow the engine
to cool before attempting coolant cap or plug
removal.
Environmental Precautions
General
This section provides general information which can
help to reduce adverse environmental impacts
incurred through the activities carried out in
workshops.
Emissions to air
Many of the activities that are carried out in
workshops emit gases and fumes which contribute to
global warming, depletion of the ozone layer and/or
the formation of photo-chemical smog at ground
level. By considering and controlling how the
workshop activities are carried out, these gases and
fumes can be minimised, thus reducing the damage
to the environment.
Exhaust fumes
Running car engines is an essential part of workshop
activities and exhaust fumes need to be ventilated to
atmosphere. However, the amount of time engines
are running and the position of the vehicle should be
carefully considered at all times, to reduce the
release of poisonous gases and minimise the
inconvenience to people living nearby.
Solvents
Some of the cleaning agents used are solvent based
and will evaporate to atmosphere if used carelessly,
or if cans are left unsealed. All solvent containers
should be firmly closed when not needed and solvent
should be used sparingly. Suitable alternative
materials may be available to replace some of the
commonly used solvents. Similarly, many paints are
solvent based and the spray should be minimised to
reduce solvent emissions.
Refrigerant
It is illegal to release any refrigerants into the
atmosphere. Discharge and replacement of these
materials from air conditioning units should only be
carried out using the correct equipment.
Checklist
Always adhere to the following:
Engines –
ldon't leave engines running unnecessarily;
lminimise testing times and check where the
exhaust fumes are being blown.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-5
Local issues
A number of environmental issues will be of
particular concern to residents and other neighbours
close to the site. The sensitivity of these issues will
depend on the proximity of the site and the layout
and amount of activity carried on at the site.
Noise is a major concern and therefore consideration
should be given to the time spent carrying out noisy
activities and the location of those activities that can
cause excessive noise.
Car alarm testing, panel beating, hammering and
other such noisy activities should, whenever
possible, be carried out indoors with doors and
windows shut, or as far away from houses as
possible.
Running vehicle engines may be an outside activity
which could cause nuisance to neighbours because
of both noise and smell.
Be sensitive to the time of day when these activities
are carried out and minimise the time of the noisy
operation, particularly in the early morning and late
evening.
Another local concern will be the smell from the
various materials used. Using less solvent, paint and
petrol could help prevent this annoyance.
Local residents and other business users will also be
concerned about traffic congestion, noise and
exhaust fumes, be sensitive to these concerns and
try to minimise inconvenience from deliveries,
customers and servicing operations.
Checklist
Always adhere to the following:
lidentify where the neighbours who are likely to
be affected are situated;
lminimise noise, smells and traffic nuisance;
lprevent litter by putting waste in the correct
containers;
lhave waste skips emptied regularly.Use of resource
Another environmental concern is the waste of
materials and energy that can occur in day to day
activities.
Electricity for heating, lighting and compressed air
uses resources and releases pollution during its
generation.
Fuel used for heating, running cars or vans and
mobile plant is another limited resource which
consumes large amounts of energy during its
extraction and refining processes.
Water has to be cleaned, piped to site and disposed
of, all of which creates more potential pollution;
Oil, spares, paint etc., have all produced pollution in
the process of manufacture and they become a
waste disposal problem if discarded.
Checklist
Always adhere to the following:
Electricity and heating –
lkeep doors and windows closed in the winter;
lswitch off machinery or lights when not needed;
luse energy efficient heating systems;
lswitch off computers and photocopiers when
not needed.
Fuel –
ldon't run engines unnecessarily;
lthink about whether journeys are necessary and
drive to conserve fuel.
Water –
ldon't leave taps and hose pipes running;
lmend leaks quickly, don't be wasteful.
Compressed air –
ldon't leave valves open;
lmend leaks quickly;
ldon't leave the compressor running when not
needed.
Use of environmentally damaging materials –
lcheck whether a less toxic material is available.
Handling and storage of materials –
lhave the correct facilities available for handling
liquids to prevent spillage and wastage as listed
above;
lprovide suitable locations for storage to prevent
frost damage or other deterioration.

Self-locking bolts and screws
Self-locking bolts and screws, i.e. nylon patched or
trilobular thread can be re-used providing resistance
can be felt when the locking portion enters the
female thread.
Nylon patched bolts and screws have a locking agent
pre-applied to the threads. They are identified by the
presence of a coloured section of thread which
extends for up to 180° around the thread.
Trilobular bolts (i.e. Powerlok) have a special thread
form which creates a slight interference in the
tapped hole or threads of the nut into which it is
screwed.
DO NOT re-use self-locking fasteners in critical
locations (e.g. engine bearings, flywheel). Always
use the correct replacement self-locking nut, bolt or
screw.
DO NOT fit non self-locking fasteners in applications
where a self-locking nut, bolt or screw is specified.
Nut identification
Nut identification
A nut with an ISO metric thread is marked on one
face or on one of the flats of the hexagon with the
strength grade symbol 8, 12, or 14. Some nuts with a
strength grade 4, 5 or 6 are also marked and some
have the metric symbol M on the flat opposite the
strength grade marking.
A clock face system is sometimes used as an
alternative method of indicating the strength grade.
The external chamfers or a face of the nut is marked
in a position relative to the appropriate hour mark on
a clock face to indicate the strength grade.
A dot is used to locate the 12 o'clock position and a
dash to indicate the strength grade. If the grade is
above 12, two dots identify the 12 o'clock position.
When tightening a slotted or castellated nut, never
loosen it to insert a split pin except where
recommended as part of an adjustment. If difficulty is
experienced, alternative washers or nuts should be
selected, or the washer thickness reduced.
Where bearing pre-load is involved, nuts should be
tightened in accordance with special instructions.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-14
Self-locking nuts
Self-locking nuts, i.e. nylon insert or deferred thread
nuts can be re-used providing resistance can be felt
when the locking portion of the nut passes over the
thread of the bolt or stud.
DO NOT apply heat in an attempt to free deferred
thread nuts or fittings; as well as causing damage to
protective coatings, there is a risk of damage to
electronic equipment and brake linings from stray
heat.
Where self-locking nuts have been removed, it is
advisable to replace them with new ones of the same
type.
Where bearing pre-load is involved, nuts should be
tightened in accordance with special instructions.
Flexible pipes and hoses
General
When removing and installing flexible hydraulic pipes
and hoses, ensure that the following practices are
observed to ensure component serviceability:
lBefore removing any brake or power steering
hose, clean end fittings and area surrounding
them as thoroughly as possible.
lObtain appropriate plugs or caps before
detaching hose end fittings, so that the ports
can be immediately covered to prevent the
ingress of dirt.
lClean hose externally and blow through with
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation
of plies, security of end fittings and external
damage. Reject any faulty hoses.
lWhen refitting a hose, ensure that no
unnecessary bends are introduced, and that
hose is not twisted before or during tightening of
union nuts.
lFit a cap to seal a hydraulic union and a plug to
its socket after removal to prevent ingress of
dirt.
lAbsolute cleanliness must be observed with
hydraulic components at all times.
lAfter any work on hydraulic systems, carefully
inspect for leaks underneath the vehicle while a
second operator applies maximum brake
pressure to the brakes (engine running) and
operates the steering.
Do not disconnect any pipes in an air
conditioning refrigeration system unless trained
and instructed to do so. A refrigerant is used
which can cause blindness if allowed to contact
eyes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-16
'Oetiker' clips may be removed by bending the tag
(arrowed) and releasing the free end of the clip. Clips
must not be re-used. When fitting new clips, ensure
the clip is correctly positioned on the hose before
tightening and that when the clip is tightened, the tag
is located in the longitudinal slot in the free end of the
clip (arrowed in illustration).
Heat protection
Always ensure that heatshields and protective
sheathing are in good condition. Replace if damage
is evident.
Particular care must be taken when routing hoses
close to hot engine components, such as the exhaust
manifold and the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
pipe.
Hoses will relax and deflect slightly when hot; ensure
this movement is taken into account when routing
and securing hoses.
Service tools
General
Special service tools have been developed to
facilitate removal, dismantling and assembly of
mechanical components in a cost effective and time
efficient manner. The use of such special tools also
helps prevent the potential for damage to
components.
Some operations described in this Manual cannot be
carried out properly without the aid of the relevant
service tools.

Rolling road testing
General
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel rolling road for
brake testing if possible.
The front and rear wheels cannot be driven
independently due to the viscous coupling. This
eliminates the need for differential lock by
progressively applying more torque to the rear
wheels if the front wheels start to slip.
DO NOT attempt to drive individual wheels with
vehicle supported on floor jacks or stands.
Four wheel rolling road
Provided that front and rear rollers are rotating at
identical speeds and that normal workshop safety
standards are applied, there is no speed restriction
during testing, except any that may apply to the tyres.
Before testing a vehicle with anti-lock brakes on a
four wheel rolling road, disconnect the ABS
modulator. The ABS function will not work, the ABS
warning light will illuminate. Normal braking will be
available.
Two wheel rolling road
ABS will not function on a two wheel rolling road. The
ABS light will illuminate during testing. Normal
braking will be available.
If brake testing on a two wheel rolling road is
necessary, the following precautions should be
taken:
lpropeller shaft to the rear axle is removed/
disconnected;
lneutral selected in gearbox;
lhill descent control not selected.
When checking brakes, run engine at idle speed to
maintain servo vacuum.

Electrical precautions
General
The following guidelines are intended to ensure the
safety of the operator and ensure the prevention of
damage to the electrical and electronic components
fitted to the vehicle. Where necessary, specific
precautions are detailed in the individual procedures
of this manual.
Equipment
Prior to commencing any test procedure on the
vehicle, ensure that the relevant test equipment is
working correctly and any harness or connectors are
in good condition. It is particularly important to check
the condition of the lead and plugs of mains operated
equipment.
Polarity
Never reverse connect the vehicle battery and
always ensure the correct polarity when connecting
test equipment.
High Voltage Circuits
Whenever disconnecting live ht circuits, always use
insulated pliers and never allow the open end of the
ht lead to contact other components, particularly
ECU's.
Exercise caution when measuring the voltage on the
coil terminals while the engine is running, high
voltage spikes can occur on these terminals.
Connectors and harnesses
The engine compartment of a vehicle is a particularly
hostile environment for electrical components and
connectors:
lAlways ensure electrically related items are dry
and oil free before disconnecting and
connecting test equipment.
lEnsure disconnected multiplugs and sensors
are protected from being contaminated with oil,
coolant or other solutions. Contamination could
impair performance or result in catastrophic
failure.
lNever force connectors apart using tools to
prise apart or by pulling on the wiring harness.
lAlways ensure locking tabs are disengaged
before disconnection, and match orientation to
enable correct reconnection.
lEnsure that any protection (covers, insulation
etc.) is replaced if disturbed.Having confirmed a component to be faulty:
lSwitch off the ignition and disconnect the
battery.
lRemove the component and support the
disconnected harness.
lWhen replacing the component, keep oily hands
away from electrical connection areas and push
connectors home until any locking tabs fully
engage.
Battery disconnection
Before disconnecting the battery, disable the alarm
system and switch off all electrical equipment. If the
radio is to be serviced, ensure the security code has
been deactivated.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical
components, always disconnect the battery
when working on the vehicle's electrical system.
The ground lead must be disconnected first and
reconnected last.
CAUTION: Always ensure that battery leads are
routed correctly and are not close to any
potential chafing points.
Battery charging
Only recharge the battery with it removed from the
vehicle. Always ensure any battery charging area is
well ventilated and that every precaution is taken to
avoid naked flames and sparks.
Ignition system safety precautions
The vehicle's ignition system produces high voltages
and the following precautions should be observed
before carrying out any work on the system:
WARNING: Before commencing work on an
ignition system, ensure all high tension
terminals, adapters and diagnostic equipment
are adequately insulated and shielded to prevent
accidental personal contacts and minimise the
risk of shock. Wearers of surgically implanted
pacemaker devices should not be in close
proximity of ignition circuits or diagnostic
equipment.

GENERAL INFORMATION
03-20
Disciplines
Switch off the ignition prior to making any connection
or disconnection in the system, to prevent electrical
surges caused by disconnecting 'live' connections
damaging electronic components.
Ensure hands and work surfaces are clean and free
of grease, swarf, etc. Grease collects dirt which can
cause electrical tracking (short-circuits) or high-
resistance contacts.
When handling printed circuit boards, treat with care
and hold by the edges only; note that some electronic
components are susceptible to body static.
Connectors should never be subjected to forced
removal or refit, especially inter-board connectors.
Damaged contacts can cause short-circuit and
open-circuit fault conditions.
Prior to commencing test, and periodically during a
test, touch a good vehicle body earth to discharge
static charge. Some electronic components are
vulnerable to the static electricity that may be
generated by the operator.
Grease for electrical connectors
Some under bonnet and under body connectors may
be protected against corrosion by the application of a
special grease during vehicle production. Should
connectors be disturbed in service, or repaired or
replaced, additional grease should be re-applied:
Part No. BAU 5811, available in 150 gm tubs.
NOTE: The use of greases other than BAU 5811
must be avoided as they can migrate into relays,
switches etc. contaminating the contacts and leading
to intermittent operation or failure.
Supplementary restraint system
precautions
General
The Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
provides active protection for vehicle occupants in
the event of a serious collision. The system
components include airbags and pre-tensioner seat
belts which are automatically deployed when a
severe frontal crash condition is detected.
The SRS pyrotechnic components could be
potentially hazardous to the service engineer if not
handled correctly. The following guidelines are
intended to alert the service engineer to potential
sources of danger and emphasise the importance of
ensuring the integrity of SRS components fitted to
the vehicle.
In order to assure system integrity, it is essential that
the SRS system is regularly checked and maintained
so that it is ready for operation in the event of an
accident.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are
detailed in the relevant sections of this Manual which
should be referred to prior to commencing repair
operations.
WARNING: Always follow the 'SRS Precautions'
and the correct procedures for working on SRS
components. Persons working on SRS systems
must be fully trained and have been issued with
copies of the Safety guidelines.
WARNING: It is imperative that before any work
is undertaken on the SRS system the appropriate
information is read thoroughly.
WARNING: The airbag module contains sodium
azide which is poisonous and extremely
flammable. Contact with water, acid or heavy
metals may produce harmful or explosive
compounds. Do not dismantle, incinerate or
bring into contact with electricity, before the unit
has been deployed.
WARNING: Always replace a seat belt assembly
that has withstood the strain of a severe vehicle
impact, or if the webbing shows signs of fraying.
WARNING: Always disconnect the vehicle
battery before carrying out any electric welding
on a vehicle fitted with an SRS system.
CAUTION: Do not expose an airbag module or
seat belt pre-tensioner to heat exceeding 85º C
(185º F).

GENERAL INFORMATION

Air conditioning system precautions
General
The air conditioning system contains fluids and
components which could be potentially hazardous to
the service engineer or the environment if not
serviced and handled correctly. The following
guidelines are intended to alert the service engineer
to potential sources of danger and emphasise the
importance of ensuring the integrity of the Air
Conditioning operating conditions and components
fitted to the vehicle.
Where necessary, additional specific precautions are
detailed in the relevant sections of this Manual which
should be referred to prior to commencing repair
operations.
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is
HFC-134a (Hydrofluorocarbon) R134a. Always
adhere to the following precautions:
WARNING: Servicing must only be carried out by
personnel familiar with both the vehicle system
and the charging and testing equipment. All
operations must be carried out in a well
ventilated area away from open flame and heat
sources.
WARNING: Do not allow a refrigerant container to
be heated by direct flame or to be placed near
any heating appliance. A refrigerant container
must not be heated above 50
°C.
Do not leave a container of refrigerant without its
cap fitted. Do not transport a container of
refrigerant that is unrestrained, especially in the
boot of a car.
WARNING: Do not smoke or weld in areas where
R134a is in use. Inhalation of concentrations of
vapour can cause dizziness, disorientation,
incoordination, narcosis, nausea or vomiting.
R134a is odourless and colourless. Do not
handle or discharge in an enclosed area, or any
area where the vapour and liquid can come in
contact with a naked flame or hot metal. R134a is
not flammable but can cause a highly toxic gas.
WARNING: Do not allow fluids other than R134a
or compressor lubricant to enter the air
conditioning system. Spontaneous combustion
may occur.WARNING: R134a is a hazardous liquid and when
handled incorrectly can cause serious injury.
Suitable protective clothing, consisting of face
protection, heat proof gloves, rubber boots and
rubber apron or waterproof overalls, must be
worn when carrying out operations on the air
conditioning system.
WARNING: Due to its low evaporating
temperature, R134a must be handled with care.
R134a splashed on any part of the body will
cause immediate freezing of that area. Also,
refrigerant cylinders and replenishment trolleys
when discharging will freeze skin to them if
contact is made.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should
refrigerant hoses be disconnected without first
discharging the system.
Do not disconnect any pipes in an air
conditioning refrigeration system unless trained
and instructed to do so. A refrigerant is used
which can cause blindness if allowed to contact
eyes.
WARNING: Refrigerant must always be recycled
before re-use to ensure that the purity of the
refrigerant is high enough for safe use in the air
conditioning system.
Recycling should always be carried out with
equipment which is design certified by
Underwriter Laboratory Inc. for compliance with
SAE J1991. Other equipment may not recycle
refrigerant to the required level of purity.
A R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling
Recharging Station must not be used with any
other type of refrigerant.
Refrigerant R134a from domestic and
commercial sources must not be used in motor
vehicle air conditioning systems.
