Toyota Land Rover 1948-1951 Models PDF Operation Manual
INTRODUCTION
In the design of the Land-Rover quote every effort has been made to simplify as far as possible the amount of attention which the owner must devote to upkeep. For this manual we have endeavoured, by the use of illustrations, to make the instructions for items of routine maintenance as simple and as clear as possible. At the same time we realise that there may be occasions when the owner finds himself in some difficulty; such cases are dealt with by our Service Department and the information given on Page 130 will help you.
Operating instructions for the standard vehicle are given on Pages 1-92, while details of extra equipment are set out on Pages 93-106; reference to the Land-Rover Station Wagon is made on Page 109 and to the Welding Plant version on Page 108. In the event of spare parts being required, they may be obtained through the, nearest Rover agent or in cases where difficulty ‘ experienced, directly from us. A list of Rover Agents (both Home and Overseas) is given at the back of this book.
It will be realised that from time to time, alterations in design and in the make of various accessories occur and this operation manual, while being
kept up-to-date as far as possible, is not to be taken as a standard specification of the Land-Rover. We reserve the right, to alter the specification at any time and without incurring any obligation to incorporate such alteration in vehicles already delivered. The purchaser is earnestly requested to fill in the Guarantee form supplied with the vehicle, upon receipt of which we will place his name on our list of owners and return the completed Guarantee form.
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 may have on the Company under the terms of the standard guarantee.
COOLING SYSTEM.
The cooling system is pressurised and great care must be taken when removing the radiator filler cap, especially when the engine is hot, to
avoid steam which may be blown out with considerable force. The years of good service expected from your vehicle will depend to a large extent upon the treatment it receives in the early stages. It is most important that your Land-Rover be properly “run-in”, that is, it should, be given an initial period of service during which it must be driven carefully at moderate speeds so that no component is subjected to extreme loads. We recommend a running-in period of 500 miles (750 Km.) during which 35-40 m.p.h. (55-65 k.p.h.) in high transfer ratio should not be exceeded,
but even after that the vehicle should not be driven at prolonged high speeds until it has done 1, 000 miles (1,500 Km.); good use should be made of the gearbox and a change-down to a lower gear made if the engine is subjected to hard pulling in a high gear. Never race the engine when cold at any time during the life of the vehicle. The instructions pasted on the windscreen are only general and to get the most lasting benefit the owner will not only obey these, but also see that he does not, on prolonged stretches, do even 40 m.p.h. (65 k.p.h.) if it mean using full throttle during the first 500 miles (750 Km.).
