Des cript ion and Operat ion
Vehicle in Workshop
W hen working on a vehicl e in the workshop al ways make sure t hat :
W here practi cable, t he parking brake is appli ed and t he wheel s are securely chocked to prevent t he vehi cl e movingforwards or backwards .W henever pos si ble, t he ignit ion key i s removed before any work is carried out on t he vehi cle.If the engine i s t o be run, t here i s adequat e vent il ati on, or an extract ion hos e i s us ed to remove exhaus t fumes.There i s adequat e room to rais e the vehicle and remove t he wheel s , if neces s ary.Fender covers are al ways ins tal led i f any work i s to be carri ed out in t he engine compart ment.W here practi cable, t he batt ery i s dis connected if worki ng on the engi ne, underneath t he vehicle, or if t he vehi cl e i srai sed.
• CAUTIO NS:
Prior to dis connect ing the bat tery, refer to the El ect ri cal Secti on of this manual - Bat tery dis connect ion/connect ion.For addit ional informat ion, refer t o: Specificati ons (414-01 Bat t ery, Mount ing and Cables , Speci ficat ions).
W hen el ect ri c arc wel ding on a vehi cl e, al ways dis connect t he generator wi ri ng to prevent t he pos si bili ty of a s urgeof current caus i ng damage to the i nternal component s of the generat or.
If us i ng welding equipment on t he vehicle, a s uit abl e fire exti nguis her is readily avail able.
Battery - General
• CAUTIO NS:
Prior to carrying out any procedures which i nvol ve dis connect ing/ or connecti ng the bat tery, refer t o t he ElectricalSect ion of t his manual - Batt ery di sconnect ion/connect ion.For addit ional informat ion, refer t o: Specificati ons (414-01 Bat t ery, Mount ing and Cables , Speci ficat ions).
A di s charged bat tery condit ion may have been caus ed by an electrical short ci rcuit . If t his condit ion exis t s there wil lbe an apparentl y li ve circuit on the vehicle even when al l normal circuit s are s wit ched off. This can cause arcing when t hejumper cables are connect ed.
W hi le it i s not recommended that the vehicl e is jump s t art ed, i t is recognized t hat thi s may occas ionall y be t he onl ypracti cal way t o mobi lize a vehi cl e. Prior t o at tempt ing a jump s t art , reference must be made to the El ect ri cal Secti on oft hi s manual - Jump St art ing.
Followi ng jump s tart ing of a dis abl ed vehi cle, the di s charged bat tery mus t be checked for s erviceabili ty and recharged offt he vehi cl e as s oon as poss ibl e t o avoi d permanent damage.
Do not rel y on t he generator t o res t ore a di s charged bat tery. For a generat or t o recharge a batt ery, it woul d take i n exces sof eight hours cont inuous dri vi ng wi th no addi ti onal loads placed on t he batt ery.
Always make s ure that t he jumper cabl es are adequate for the tas k.Always make s ure that t he s lave batt ery i s of the same vol tage as t he vehicle bat tery. The bat teries mus t beconnected i n paral lel.Always make s ure that s wit chabl e electric circui ts are s wi tched off before connecti ng jumper cabl es. This reducest he ri sk of arci ng occurring when the final connecti on is made.
Towing the Vehicle
W ARNING: W hen t owing i s neces sary, reference mus t be made to the Jacki ng, Lift ing and Towing Secti on of thi sManual .
W hen t he vehicle i s being t owed dock the remote cont rol and s wit ch on the ignit ion. (s t eering l ock releas ed and warni ngli ght s i ll uminated). Onl y t hen wil l the s t eering, turn s ignal lamps , horn and s t op lamps be operat ional. Fail ure t o followt hes e i nst ructi ons may res ult in pers onal injury. It mus t be noted that wit h t he engine not running, t he power s t eering andbrake boost er wil l be inoperat ive t herefore, great er effort wil l be needed t o s t eer t he vehicle and apply the brakes .
General Installation Instructions
