With the engine at steady speed, check for bubble / foaming in the fluid. If present it indicates that air is geting sucked into the system. Check the suction line / fittings and correct if necessary. Once the system is bled properly and free from foaming, there should not be appreciable change in fluid level in the reservoir, when the engine is started / stopped repeatedly. Top up or remove excess fluid so that the final level is at H mark on dipstick. 6.

G Conscious pressure reducing valve for brakes

G Conscious pressure reducing valve for brakes This valve consists of a barrel with one inlet and one outlet. A steel ball is kept rolling free in the barrel. When the brakes are applied the brake fluid going to rear wheel cylinders passes through this valve around the steel ball and goes out from other end to rear wheel cylinders. As the brakes are applied

and vehicle decelerates, the free rolling ball moves forward due to its momentum and closes the port stopping the further supply of brake fluid to rear wheel cylinders. This ensures that cylinder pressure is limited to a value which avoids wheel locking.

To achieve the specific cutout point the valve body is mounted on vehicle at 260 angle so that the ball has to climb some slope before closing the outlet port.

Changing from 2H to 4H can be done at any speed upto 65 km/h. No pressing of clutch pedal is required 3. Shifting from 4H to 2H : Turn the selector knob from 4H to 2H position. 4WDH indicator on instrument panel will go off. Changing from 4H to 2H can be done at any speed upto 65 km/h. No pressing of clutch pedal is required. Free wheeling of front hub : After shifting from 4H to 2H, for effecting free wheeling of front wheels, direction of vehicle motion needs to be changed. If in4H mode the vehicle was moving forward then stop it, wait and then engage reverse gear of main gear box. If it was moving reverse in 4H mode then stop it, wait and then engage forward gear of main gear box. (After stopping and changing the gear the vehicle must travel in opposite direction for a minimum of three meters, before free wheeling takes place.) 4. Shifting from 4H to 4L Stop the vehicle. Press clutch pedal. Turn the selector knob from 4H to 4L position. 4WDL indicator light on instrument panel will blink a few times and remain on. 5. Shifting from 4L to 4H Stop the vehicle. Press clutch pedal. Turn the selector knob from 4L to 4H position. 4WDH indicator light on instrument panel will blink a few times and remain on. CAUTION In case of malfunctioning in shifting from 4H to 4L or 4L to 4H, respectively 4L or 4H indicator light will flash continuously, Do not march the vehicle in such a case.

4x4 Operations
Do not use 4H or 4L modes continuously on dry and hard surfaced road except for checking operations. Limited Slip Differential : A standard differential delivers torque equally to each wheel. In case one wheel loses traction and begins to spin, the differential distributes the rotary speed unequally but with same torque. This can cause the wheel with good traction to slow down or stop while the wheel which lost traction rotates with increased speed. Such a situation can prevent the vehicle from moving. The limited slip differential provided in the rear axle takes care of such situations. The clutch lock arrangement provided internally, ensures that in case one wheel loses traction and begins to slip, a locking action takes place which prevents differential action and both wheels turn at the same speed. 45

Brakes, Bleeding the brake system

Bleeding front calliper Bleeding the brake system Brake system The dual circuit service brake system operated through the tandem master cylinder is designed such that one circuit will continue to provide braking action if the other circuit fails. This vehicle is fitted with disc brakes at front and drum brakes at rear. 56 Stopping the vehicle after loss of the brake fluid in one circuit will require more pedal presssure and pedal travel than normal. Also stopping distance will be longer. Service brakes are vacuum assisted. In case of failure of vacuum, the vehicle can still be stopped, however with a higher effort. If the brake pedal becomes spongy, this may be due to air in the hydraulic brake system. Whenever any repair/overhaul or disconnecting of any brake pipe is done, or level of brake fluid has fallen so low that air has been drawn into master cylinder, it is necessary to bleed the system to remove the trapped air.

Vehicle maintenance
Check tyres for damage from time to time and remove any foreign bodies (nails/stones, metal chips etc.) embedded in treads. While fitting wheels on the vehicle make sure that wheel bolts are free from dust, scratches, dirt, dents etc. Do not oil wheel bolts and nuts. Wipe off any adhering oil. Tightening torque of : 12-15 mkg wheel nuts. Retighten wheel nuts after 100 km of every wheel change. New tyres do not give maximum grip straightaway and should therefore be run-in at moderate speed for the first 100 km. This will help to make the tyres last long. To avoid damage to tyres and wheels, drive slowly over speed breakers/ bumps/rough roads. Wheel balancing : Wheels of your vehicle are balanced. The same should be maintained when repairing a tyre or tube and replacing the tyre or rim. Replacing a tyre/ rim : When the tyre or rim is changed the wheel should be properly balanced on a machine after inflating to the specified value as per the following norms. 1. 2. 3. 4. Permissible imbalance for tyre with rim=250 gm-cm max. Permissible balance weight for tyre with rim=140 gm max. Relocate the tyre if the weight required to balance is more than 140 gm. Balance weights are available from 10 gm to 90 gm in steps of 10 gm and from 80 to 140 gm in steps of 20 gm. Do not use more than one balance weight on one side.

Battery Isolator Switch & Head Lamps

Battery Isolator Switch Battery is connected to the starter and other circuitry through isolator switch. This is to be switched OFF while carrying out any work on the vehicle and also when the vehicle is parked for long duration to avoid battery drainage. This will also prevent any inadvertant short circuits during repairs. Headlamps The headlamps provides two types of light beams; a high beam to give maximum light well ahead of vehicle, and a low beam which is shorter and lower so that it will not dazzle the oncoming drivers can be used in low visibility area. The headlamp also incorporates a parking light. The headlamps must be properly aligned in order to obtain maximum road safety, proper road illumination and reduced glare to oncoming traffic. It is recommended to check alignment of headlamp beams periodically and whenever headlamp bulbs are replaced, by means of a headlamp aligner or with the help of a screen as shown in figure .

Head lamp adjustment

No light should fall above these lines i.e. in 'Dark zone' Thereafter lateral adjustment is done by adjusting the knob at bottom of headlamp so that contour of low beam coincides with contour formed by horizontal and inclined line below Dark zone When properly adjusted, most brightly illuminated area will be just below the intersection point 'A' of these two lines. The Second headlamp is adjusted in a similar manner without disturbing the position of the vehicle and the screen. Now switch 'ON' high beam. They will be symmetrical above point. 'A' and 'B' of intersection of vertical lines and horizontal lines. It is possible that high beams may not be exactly symmetrical but for this reason headlamps should not be realigned. Perferably, the alignment should be done in the dark. No masking of headlamps with black paint is required. If done, this will reduce the intensity of lights.

Adjusting head lamps focus with the help of screen The vehicle should be parked 10 meters away from screen with its centre in line with central vertical line on screen, and screen at right angle to longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The vehicle should be in unloaded condition with no sag in suspension springs and all tyres equally inflated.Head lamp leveling switch should be kept on O position. 66

On the marked up screen as shown in figure, area above horizontal and inclined lines (shaded) is called 'Dark zone' and the area below it is called 'The illuminated zone'. Each headlamp is aligned individually by masking the other headlamp. Headlamp is first adjusted for proper height of low beam by adjusting head lamp leveling motor shaft if required. Light from low beam should fall below horizontal and inclined lines.

which can scratch the paint. Wash the exterior with water, lightly rubbing with sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should be frequently soaked in water. CAUTION When using commercial wash products precautions specified by the manufacturers should be observed. Do not use strong household detergents or soaps. Once dirt has been completely removed, wash off with running hose water. After rinsing, wipe the body lightly with wet chamois or cloth and allow the body to dry in the shade. WARNING After washing, check that the brakes are dry. If brakes are not dry, dry them by gently, repeatedly applying while driving at low speed. Waxing the vehicle exterior After washing the vehicle, waxing and polishing are recommended to protect and beautify the paint. Use only good quality waxes and polishes. When using waxes and polishes, the precautions specified by the manufacturers should be observed. Chrome-plated parts should also be waxed. Protection against corrosion The following cause corrosion : Moisture trapped in body cavities. Dirt and salts collected in hollows on the underside of the vehicle. Removal of paint and protective coatings from the exterior and underside of the vehicle. Corrosion preventive measures have been incorporated in your vehicle. You can avoid corrosion of your vehicle by performing some simple periodic maintenance :

Care and cleaning of vehicle

Repair chips and scratches in the paint as soon as you discover them. Inspect and clean the drain holes in the bottom of the doors and body. Check the floor coverings for dampness. Carpets and floor mats remain for a long time, especially in winter. This can eventually cause the floor panel to corrode. Use a high-pressure spray to clean the underside of your vehicle. This is especially important in areas near chemical and other industries. Have corrosion preventive coatings done on the underside of your vehicle. Preventive coatings such as the Dinitrol-3850 are available in the market.

WORK GUIDELINE FOR PRESERVATION AND DE-PRESERVATION OF SUMO ARMOURED VEHICLE IN DIFFERENT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS STORAGE PREPARATION OF VEHICLE: Choose a place preferably closed cool, dark and dry. But many a times getting such an ambience is not possible. If the vehicle needs to be stored outside, it should be covered with a quality cover which has thick, multi-layered fabric. Following precautions can help in keeping the vehicle in good condition. PRESERVATION (07 Days or less): 1 Vehicle shall be empty and no load inside cabin or load body shall be kept. 2 Increase Tire pressures by 10 psi over the specified (placard) pressures to avoid flat spots or damage to the tire leading to permanent set deformation. 3 Disconnect the battery terminals inside engine compartment as well as in passenger compartment. 4 Make sure that fuel quantity inside tank is at minimum level. 5 If the engines coolant service life time limit will be exceeded while the vehicle is in storage, drain and refill the cooling system with the recommended coolant mixture. 6 The coolant mixture must protect against freezing down to the lowest expected temperature 7 Make sure that vehicle is in 4 x2 mode. AT HILLY / SNOW FALL / COLD CLIMATE AREA: 1 In cold atmosphere area vehicle shall be parked preferably inside enclosed area. If such area is not available then park the vehicle in such a place where snow fall is less. Put antirust element on surface which is open to atmosphere. 2 Cover the vehicle with car cover where the snow fall is in control. 3 Put hand brake in on condition to arrest the vehicle slippage or park the vehicle in plain area with chokes 73

Vehicle Maintenance

Preservation & De-preservation

COASTAL AREA: 1 Apply antirust to all open body area DE-PRESERVATION (Beyond 07 days): In addition to above short term storage precautions following steps needs to be taken: 1 Make sure the vehicle is clean, waxed, and chrome polished before putting it into storage. 2 Drive the vehicle for about 10 Km after adding the stabilizer/antirust/anticorrosion agent in fuel system, Cooling system ,lubricating systems and brake oils (Long storage fuel additives available in local market is called stabilizer). 3 Normally its best to leave the tank full. However, if the vehicle will be stored in an enclosed location where gas fumes could be a problem, empty the tank about half way 4 Open the Injectors and pour about a teaspoon of oil into each cylinder and fit it back. This will help coat the cylinders to prevent rust. Also pour oil into the intake, this lubricates the engine and the exhaust system from the inside deterring rust formation. 5 Place desiccant packs in various locations inside the car; also place moth balls in various locations inside; make sure the air is on the re-circulate setting; open the glove box and other interior storage locations; cover any areas that might be exposed to sunlight. 6 Drain the cooling system fluid and fill fresh appropriate coolant in system. 7 Seal off engine openings such as engine air intake, exhaust out let pipe with absorbent cotton to keep moisture out. 8 Remove the battery and clean its top with a mixture of baking soda and water. Apply grease on the terminals and preserve separately. 9 Loose the drive-belts to take the pressure off of the pulley bearings. 74

Support the vehicle on jack-stands or blocks. This will take the weight off of the wheel bearings and suspension components. Also if possible remove the wheels and tires, lower the tyre pressure slightly, and store them flat and out of sunlight area. Wash and wax the body surface. Apply vinyl/Weather protestant on leather surfaces, tyres, and other rubber components. Keep off the wiper blades from wind shield glass or take off and preserve separately. Seal the tailpipe and any other openings to prevent entry of mice or other rodents. Particularly care to be taken to plug the fire wall openings in to the cabin to prevent rodents. To avoid engine bearing damage due to acid in the engine oil, change the engine oil and oil filter. Leather care: You do not to need to apply a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness in the leather. To clean the leather use a damp, soft cloth, taking care not to soak the leather. Small dirt particles can be abrasive and damaging to leather surfaces and should be removed promptly. Do not use saddle soap, polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents or ammonia-based cleaners Place any written reminders on what may be needed after the vehicle is removed from storage where it will be easily seen such as the top of the instrument panel, on the steering wheel, etc. Make sure you have adequate insurance on the vehicle to cover for fire, theft and vandalism or any avalanches or storm condition etc. Open both front and rear hatch if it is inside parking & keep it partial open when parked outside or open to atmosphere. Make sure that 4 x 4 is not engaged.

BATTERY STORAGE GUIDELINES: 1 Any time a battery will be stored unused for an extended period of time (over 30 days), certain precautions will help assure that the battery will not be damaged and will be ready for use when needed. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Bring the battery to full charge before storing it. If the battery is in a vehicle, it is often best to disconnect the negative battery cable. Install and keep terminal protectors in place and keep the battery clean. Store the battery in as cool of a location as possible. Monitor the battery on a regular basis. Bring the battery to full charge before it is stored. This is the best insurance against internal damage due to remaining in a discharged state for a long period of time, and against freezing in extremely cold weather. If possible disconnect the negative battery cable if the battery is in a vehicle (this is must to prevent battery discharge as well fire accidents). This will prevent parasitic drains in the vehicle system from discharging the battery at a faster rate. If the negative battery cable cannot be disconnected, more frequent monitoring and charging will be needed. To prevent accidental discharge, install terminal protectors on exposed terminals. Keep the battery free of dust, dirt, moisture, and conductive materials like damp cardboard that could allow the battery to discharge slowly through external paths. Cool temperatures retard the internal reactions that cause self discharge and internal grid corrosion. Find the coolest storage location that will not cause the battery to freeze. A battery that is kept at a 65% SOC or higher will not freeze until the temperature is below -32C (-25F) A fully-charged battery will not freeze until the temperature is below -54C (-65F). Monitor the stored battery regularly by checking the built-in hydrometer or OCV.

If a battery is stored in a vehicle with the cables connected, check the battery SOC every 30 days. Recharge the battery fully whenever the SOC falls below 65%. When stored on the shelf or in a vehicle with the negative cable disconnected, a battery that begins storage at full charge will require recharge on the following schedule, depending on the estimated average storage temperature : AVERAGE STORAGE TEMPERATURE RECHARGE FULLY AT 210C OR Below (700F OR Below) 12 Months 0 0 0 0 21 C - 27 C (70 F - 80 F) 8 Months 270C - 320C (800F - 900F) 4 Months 0 0 0 0 32 C - 38 C (90 F - 100 F) 2 Months 380C OR More (1000F OR More) 30 Days Chart applies to fully-charged batteries only AT HILLY SNOW ALL/COLD CLIMATE AREA: Apart from above mentioned points, below mentioned points are specific for cold climate area preserving, Remove battery from vehicle and keep it in battery maintained area. Apply thick layer of antirust on all open surface area. Place the transmission gear selector in Reverse or First. Put 4x2 mode gear selector. Release the Park Brake. Lubricate door, trunk, hood and other moving metal parts with silicone lubricant. GENERAL INSPECTION BEFORE RETRIVAL OF PRESERVED VEHICLE: Over all condition of vehicle. Paint condition.
