Do not move the vehicle immediately the buzzer cuts out and the warning light is extinguished, when charging the system. Allow sufficient time for the sir pressure to build up to 8.4 kgf/cm? (120 Ibf/in*) to ensure complete retraction of the spring brakes when the parking brake lever is operated. This also ensures correct operation of the pneumocyclic gearbox. ‘The parking brake system also incorporates a red warning light which is illuminated when the parking brake lever is ‘moved to the ‘on’ position and extinguishes when the lever is moved to the ‘off” position, Should a fault develop in this system resulting in loss of air pressure the warning light will automatically be illuminated, Emergency Release of Spring Applied Parking Brake In order to release the spring applied parking brakes when the engine cannot be run to charge the air system, an ‘external airline may be connected to the auto-shutoff valve at the front of the vehicle — workshop airline type ‘coupling. “The supply pressure should be 7.0 kgf/em? (100 Ibt/in?) minimum, 8.4 kgt/em? (120 Ibf/in*) maximum. WARNING: Before connecting an external ai-ine, move the parking brake control to ‘on’, or chock the wheels If an external air supply is not avsilable the spring brakes may be manually released by removing the chamber end cover and rotating the release bolt in an anticlockwise direction. Refer to Group 7 for further details and Illustrations of spring brake construction. Frost Precautions If anti-freeze solution is not in use and the vehicle is to remain standing in the open with temperatures approaching freezing point, the cooling system must be completely drained. [After draining place a ‘Cooling System Drained’ notice on the steering wheel or similar conspicuous place. Vehicles with anti-freeze mixture in the cooling system should have a notice displayed stating ‘Antifreeze, Do Not Drain’. Alternating Current Charging Systems ‘Although the reverse polarity relay minimizes the risk of damage due to accidental reversal of polarity the following precautions should still be observed. 1. Never disconnect the battery whilst the alternator is running. This will cause a voltage surge in the charging system that will Immediately ruin the diodes or transistors. 2. Never disconnect a lead without first stopping the alternator and turning any switches in the circuit to the ‘off” position Never connect a battery into the system without checking for correct polarity and correct voltage. Never ‘short’ connections to earth to check for current flow. No matter how brief the contact the transistor may be ruined, 5, Never experiment to try and adjust or repair the system; this is a job for a trained electrician with the correct. test equipment and technical data 6 Always identify a leed to its correct terminal when disconnecting or reconnecting. A short-circuit or wrong connection will immediately and permanently ruin transistors or diodes 7. If ‘jumper’ leads are used to start the engine it is important that the existing bat disconnected. i acters a) y leads are not | |GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS CAUTION: If welding, soldering or brazing is necessary in the vicinity of the alternator or control unit, precautions ‘must be taken to ensure that any heat source is kept well away from these components. Excessive heat reaching the transistors or diodes will cause irreparable damage, If arc welding is to be carried out the alternator and battery ‘must be disconnected. Disposition of Units In this Manual all references to left-hand or righthand sides are from the driver's view point when seated in the driving position. ‘Towing the Vehicle WARNING: The vehicle may be towed over short distances up to 5 km (3 miles) at speeds of up to 20 km/h (12 riles/h) with the gear selector in NEUTRAL. For distances and speeds in excess of this the propeller shaft or half-shafts must be removed, Failure to comply with these instructions can result in damage to the gearbox bearings and shaft as the oll pump is inoperative when the vehicle is being towed, Towing brackets, threaded 1 in B.S. re fitted to the front frame member as standard equipment. ‘The brackets are for normal towing only and must not be used for suspended towing.
