RUNNING ADJUSTMENTS—Brakes
HYDRAULIC DAMPERS
The telescopic hydraulic dampers fitted do not require any adjustment or topping up.
If these are removed, or for some reason new ones are fitted, it is advisable to hold the
hydraulic damper right way up and pump the piston to each end of the stroke, this will
dispel any air which may have entered the chamber. After this operation, keep the damper
the right way up until it is fitted in place.
LOOSE BOLTS OR NUTS
All the vital nuts are locked in position by split pins, locking wire, or by an additional lock
nut or lock washer. It is, however, desirable that the car should be examined every 5,000
miles (8,000 km.) so that if any nut is found to be loose it may be tightened. The wheel
nuts can periodically be checked by the owner himself and occasionally removed, oiled
and refitted.
The general examination of the chassis is a mechanic's job.
