About every other week check the tyre
pressure and the battery acid level.
Notes for lubricating chart
Note 1. The wheel bearings are packed at
the factory with a special type of grease
i ntended to last for the entire lifetime of
the bearings. Normally, therefore, the
sealed-for-life bearings do not require a
change of lubricant or additional grease.
I n connection with such workshop opera-
tions involving uncovering the wheel bear-
i ngs, the bearings should be cleaned and
then lubricated with high-class, durable
grease according to the instructions in the
service manual. Except on the above
occasion, subsequent adding or changing
of lubricant is not required.
The rear wheel bearings are lubricated so
replacement of grease is not required.
However, if the bearings have been re-
moved, they should be lightly greased with
wheel bearing grease.
Note 2. Mechanical steering:
Check that the oil reaches up to the filler
plug. Use hypoid oil SAE 80 all year round.
Servo steering: Check that the oil level in
the servo steering container is 5-10 mm
(5/16") above the level mark. Use Auto-
matic Transmission Fluid, Type A, or Dex-
ron.
Note 3. Check that the fluid reaches up to
the MAX mark. (Right-hand steering:
Check also the clutch fluid level.)
Note 4. Lubricate the felt wick under the
rotor and fill a few drops of light engine
oil into the lubricating cup.
Note 5. Check every 10 000 km (6000 miles)
that the oil reaches up to the filler plug.
Concerning oil change, see page 38.
N.B. The type of gearbox will decide the
type of lubricant to be used.
Note 6. At every engine oil change check
that the oil level in the centre spindle of
the carburettors reaches up to about 6 mm
(1/4") from the edge of the spindle. Use
oil ATF type A (transmission oil).
Note 7. Change the oil filter every 10 000
km (6000 miles). See page 41.
Note 8. Check the oil level when tanking.
Concerning oil changing, see page 37.
Note 9. Check every 10 000 km (6000 miles)
that the oil reaches up to the filler plug.
Concerning lubricant for rear axle with
differential brake, see page 39.
