1 4-15 Brake fluid
The brake system is fitted with a tandem-
type brake fluid container with a section
for each circuit but with the same filler
hole. The brake fluid level should be be-
tween the "Max" and "Min" marks.
(For right-hand drive, check also clutch fluid
l evel.)
Every third year or every 80
.
000 km (48000
miles) change the brake fluid in the entire
brake system. The brake system seals
should be replaced at the same time.
A suitable time to do this is when changing
the power cylinder air filter, see page 54.
With continuous driving where the brakes
are used often and hard, for example, when
hill-climbing,
etc. and in extremely damp
weather, the brake fluid should be changed
once a year.
1 7 Oil filter
The engine is fitted with a full-flow type
oil filter, which means that all the oil pas-
ses through the filter on its way from the
oil pump to the various lubricating points.
I mpurities in the oil are collected in the
filter and gradually block it. For this reason,
the filter must be changed every 10000 km
(6000
miles). Scrap the old filter then. If
the oil filter is replaced without the engine
oil being changed, the engine should be
topped up with 0.8 dm
3
(litre) (1 pint) of oil.
ENGINE
1 6 Crankcase ventilation
The engine is provided with positive crank-
case ventilation which prevents the gases
i n the crankcase from being released into
the atmosphere. Instead, they are sucked
i nto the intake manifold and take part in
the combustion process whereupon they are
blown out through the exhaust pipe together
with the other combustion gases. Every
40 000 km (24 000 miles) remove and clean
the nozzle (1), the houses (2 and 4). Rubber
hoses should also be replaced if they are
i n a poor condition.
Replace the flame guard (3).
Brake fluids meeting the requirements
according to SAE J 1703 should be used
for the hydraulic brake system. Brake
fluid with designation SAE 70 R 3 can
also be used.
