INFORMATION
Two wheel dynamometers
IMPORTANT: Use a four wheel dynamometer for
brake testing if possible.
NOTE: ABS will not function on a two
wheel dynamometer. The ABS light will
illuminate during testing. Normal braking
will be available.
If brake testing on a single rig is necessary it must be
carried out with propeller shaft to the rear axle
removed, AND neutral selected in BOTH main and
transfer boxes.
If checking engine performance, the transfer box must
be in high range and drive shaft to stationary axle
removed.
TOWING
CAUTION: The vehicle has permanent
four-wheel drive. The following towing
instructions must be adhered to:
Towing the vehicle on all four wheels with driver
operating steering and brakes.
1. Turn ignition key turn to position ’1’ to release
steering lock.
2. Select neutral in main gearbox and transfer
gearbox.
3. Secure tow rope, chain or cable to towing eye.
4. Release the parking brake.
CAUTION: The brake servo and power
assisted steering system will not be
functional without the engine running.
Greater pedal pressure will be required to apply
the brakes, the steering system will require
greater effort to turn the front road wheels.
The vehicle tow connection should be used only
in normal road conditions, ’snatch’ recovery
should be avoided.
Suspended tow by breakdown vehicle
CAUTION: To prevent vehicle damage,
front or rear propeller shaft MUST BE
removed, dependent upon which axle is
being trailed.
1. Mark propeller shaft drive flanges at transfer
gearbox and axles with identification lines to
enable the propeller shaft to be refitted in its
original position.
2. Remove the propeller shaft fixings, remove the
shaft from the vehicle.
3. If the front axle is to be trailed turn ignition key to
position ’1’ to release steering lock.
CAUTION: The steering wheel and/or
linkage must be secured in a straight
ahead position. DO NOT use the steering
lock mechanism for this purpose.

JUMP STARTING
WARNING: Hydrogen and oxygen gases
are produced during normal battery
operation. This gas mixture can explode if
flames, sparks or lighted tobacco are brought
near battery. When charging or using a battery in
an enclosed space, always provide ventilation and
shield your eyes.
Keep out of reach of children. Batteries contain
sulphuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or
clothing. Also, shield eyes when working near
battery to protect against possible splashing of
acid solution. In case of acid contact with skin,
eyes, or clothing, flush immediately with water for
a minimum of fifteen minutes. If acid is swallowed,
drink large quantities of milk or water, followed by
milk of magnesia, a beaten egg, or vegetable oil.
SEEK MEDICAL AID IMMEDIATELY.
To Jump Start - Negative Ground Battery
WARNING: To avoid any possibility of
injury use particular care when connecting
a booster battery to a discharged battery.
1. Position vehicles so that jump leads will reach,
ensuring that vehicles DO NOT TOUCH,
alternatively a fully charged slave battery may be
positioned on floor adjacent to vehicle.
2. Ensuring that ignition and all electrical
accessories are switched off, that parking brake
is applied and neutral is selected on a manual
gearbox, with an automatic gearbox select
neutral (N) or park (P) and then connect the
jump leads as follows;
A. Connect one end of first jumper cable to positive
(+) terminal of booster battery.
B. Connect other end of first jumper cable to
positive (+) terminal of discharged battery.
C. Connect one end of second jumper cable to
negative terminal of booster battery.

D. Connect other end of second jumper cable to a
good earth point on the engine, NOT TO
NEGATIVE TERMINAL OF DISCHARGED
BATTERY. Keep jumper lead away from moving
parts, pulleys, drive belts and fan blade
assembly.
WARNING: Making final cable connection
could cause an electrical arc which if
made near battery could cause an
explosion.
3. If booster battery is installed in another vehicle,
start engine and allow to idle.
4. Start engine of vehicle with discharged battery,
following starting procedure in Owners’ Manual.
CAUTION: If vehicle fails to start within a
maximum time of 12 seconds, switch
ignition off and investigate cause. Failing
to follow this instruction could result in
irrepairable damage to catalysts.
5. Remove negative (-) jumper cable from the
engine and then terminal of booster battery.
6. Remove positive (+) jumper cable from positive
terminals of booster battery and discharged
battery.
