Washer reservoir. To fill the reservoir, remove the cap (1) and lift the reservoir (2)
from its mounting.
The reservoir should be filled with a mixture of water and UNIPART Screenwash

Polarity. Ensure that the correct battery polarity is maintained at all times;
reversed battery or charger connections will damage the alternator rectifiers.
Battery connections. The battery must never be disconnected while the engine is
running.
Testing semi-conductor devices. Never use an ohmmeter of the type incorporating
a hand-driven generator for checking the rectifiers or the transistors.

housing. It requires no lubrication.
FUEL P U M P Fuel is delivered to the carburetters by an S.U. electric fuel pump.
