MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE

Chassis Frame: Modification to the vehicle chassis frame by welding, drilling, etc. is not permitted as this could distort or weaken the chassis frame. Check the chassis cross members and side members for loose bolts or rivets. Loose bolts should be tightened. For any major chassis frame work, contact authorised Ashok Leyland Dealers.
Use of jack: Garage hoisting devices (trolley jacks, etc.) must be applied in such a way that damage to the steering linkage is avoided. If necessary use wooden blocks for cushioning. Ensure that the underside of the vehicle is clear of obstructions before lowering the jack.
Before jacking up the vehicle first ensure that it is standing o­n the level ground and the parking brake is applied. Should it be necessary to jack up the vehicle o­n a slope or without the parking brake being applied then the wheels remaining in contact with the ground must be chocked. Place the jack under the jacking point ensuring that the jack base is o­n level g r o u n d .
If it is necessary to get under the suspended vehicle to carry out any repairs or maintenance, additional supporting must be used under the axle.
