Land-Rover Operation Manual Part 1/2

IMPORTANT
NOMENCLATURE As this manual covers both Right and Left-hand Drive models, reference is made throughout the text to the "left-hand" and "right-hand" sides of the vehicle, rather than to the "near-side" and "off-side." The "left-hand side" is that to the left hand when viewed from the rear; similarly "left-hand drive" models are those having the driving controls on the left-hand side, again when the vehicle is viewed from the rear. CAPACITIES All capacities are quotes in Imperial and Metric measure; to ascertain the U.S. equivalent, multiply the Imperial figure by 1.2. GUARANTEE In order to obtain the Certificate of Guarantee operative with your vehicle, it is essential that you should, with the minimum of delay, either fill in and post the guarantee form supplied or ask your supplier to do it for you. Failure to do so may seriously jeopardise any claim you have on the Company under the terms of the standard guarantee. GEAR RATIOS The Land-Rover is equipped with a transfer box giving a secondary series of low gear ratios for heavy work. You are advised to consult "Gear Changing Instructions" for full details of the operation of this transfer box. LOCKING To protect your Land-Rover against theft, always remove the ignition key when parking. As an additional precaution the distributor rotor arm may also be removed or the petrol tap on the sediment bowl turned "OFF." MAINTENANCE In order to obtain maximum service and dependability from your LandRover, maintenance items listed in this manual should receive regular attention. They are few in number and quite straightforward and will amply repay the small amount of time which needs to be devoted to them.
