SECTION 1.
THE MANUAL AND ITS LAYOUT
This service shop manual has been written for
service personnel who maintain and/or overhaul
Atkinson vehicles.
The manual fully covers the range of Atkinson
vehicles listed on the title page.
All instructions are as brief as possible yet cover
the essential operations necessary to maintain,
replace, dismantle, inspect and overhaul the com-
plete vehicle.
Where available proprietary manufacturers pub-
lications are supplied with this manual which should
be read in conjunction with the Atkinson literature.
Manual Units
The manual consists of several major Units which
are numbered from 0 to 8, to cover the different
running units of the vehicle :
Example :
UNIT 1-Engine and Ancillary Equipment.
UNIT 2-Transmission.
The Units are then divided into sections to cover
individual assemblies within a Unit.
Manual Sections
Each section within a Unit consists basically of
the following information:
Technical Data and Description
Maintenance and Adjustments
Unit Replacement.
Unit Overhaul.
The number of Sections within a Unit varies from
Unit to Unit depending upon the number of assem-
blies which go to make up a Unit:
Example :
UNIT 2- Transmission.
SECTION 1-Clutch Unit.
SECTION 2-Clutch Actuation.
SECTION 3- Gearbox.
Date: January, 1969
If more than one type of gearbox or clutch is fitted
within the vehicle range covered by the manual,
then additional Sections will be included to cover
the individual types.
Section numbers may not run consecutively within
a Unit due to some types of vehicles being fitted with
differently designed equipment. Therefore to keep
the manual as relative to the vehicle as possible,
sections may be deleted if the vehicle being dealt
with is not fitted with the assembly the section(s)
cover.
Page Numbers
Page numbers within a Section are numbered
consecutively, starting with a new Page 1 at the
beginning of each section.
Illustration Numbers
All illustrations are numbered consecutively within
a Section beginning with Figure 1.
Location of Information
I nformation concerning a particular assembly with-
in a Unit. such as the radiator within the Cooling
System Section of the Engine Unit. can best be

IMPORTANT NOTES
Engine
During the routine servicing or overhaul of engines
it is highly recommended that the appropriate engine
manufacturers manual is always refered to for infor-
mation.
If an anti - freeze solution is not in use and the
vehicle is to remain standing in the open for any
length of time with the atmospheric temperature
approaching freezing point. the cooling system must
be completely drained and a ' COOLING SYSTEM
DRAINED' notice placed on the steering wheel or
similar conspicuous place.
Vehicles with an anti-freeze solution in the cooling
system should have a notice displayed stating' Anti-
freeze, DO NOT DRAIN.'
Tractor-Trailer Combinations Electrical
Wiring
It is strongly advised that all trailers used in con-
junction with these chassis are wired on the insulated
return system.
If, in spite of this recommendation, earth-return
chassis are adopted for use, it should be noted that a
fault on the Positive side will cause a failure of the
trailer return fuse.
Alternator and Control Board
If soldering, brazing or welding is necessary in the
vicinity of the alternator or control board precautions
must be taken to ensure that any heat source is kept
well away from these units. Excessive heat reaching
the transistors or diodes will cause inreparable
damage.
Date : January, 1969
Air Pressure Brake System
Before carrying out any work on components in
the braking system it is advisable to observe the
precautions outlined in Section 4 of this Unit. Strict
observance of these precautions will help to ensure
efficient operation of the system and avoid the risk
of premature failure.
It is important that all ancillary equipment i.e. any
air pressure operated equipment must be controlled
by air under pressure supplied from the auxiliary
reservoirs via the pressure regulator valve. Failure to
comply with this instruction will mean an auxiliary
brake failure if a failure in any ancillary equipment
occurs. For correct ancillary feed connection refer
to Unit 6 Brakes, Section 1, Page 4, Fig. 1, letter N
of this manual.
Vehicle Position
In this manual all references to left-hand or right -
hand sides mean from the driver's viewpoint when
seated in the driving position.
Load Sensing
It is dangerous to operate a tractor trailer com-
bination having load sensing on the trailer only,
as this means that the tractor lII(ili be over braked in
any condition other than fully laden and the unit
will be liable to jack-Imiving.
However, it is permissible to operate a tractor
trailer combination with load sensing on the tractor
only and also a combination with load sensing
fitted to both units of the combination.

SECTION 4.
GENERAL FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Absolute cleanliness must be observed when
removing, overhauling and servicing assemblies.
Threads
1. Always clean threads and split - pin holes before
final assembly on any unit.
2. Always discard any nuts, bolts or studs with
stripped and/or deformed threads.
3. Always protect against damaging threads in
exposed positions.
4. Large diameter threads on shafts, or tubes
should be wrapped with tape for protection
against dirt or damage. A small amount of dirt
will bind or jam the nut, especially where self-
locking nuts are used.
Nuts
1. Where self-locking nuts have been removed it
is recommended that they are replaced with
new ones of the same type.
2. When tightening up a slotted or castellated nut
never slal(en it back to insert the split pin or
locking wire. If difficulty is experienced, alter-
native washers or nuts should be selected.
Split Pins
1. Always use new split pins throughout when
replacing any assembly.
2. Never substitute spring washers or self-locking
nuts where split pins were originally fitted.
There is always a good reason for the use of a
split pin.
Shims
1. When dismantling, note the number and posi-
tion of shims removed to assist during re-
assembly.
2. Always discard any torn or crumpled shims and
substitute new ones of the same thickness.
3. Before re-assembly always wipe shims clean
and smear with light oil.
Gasl(ets and Joints
1. It is recommended that new gaskets or joints
are always used when replacing or overhauling
assemblies, even though the existing ones may
appear fit for further service.
2. Where an oil -tight joint is required, smear the
joint and mating facings with a suitable jointing
compound.
Date : January, 1969
Covers and Housings
1. Always ensure that fitting faces are wiped
perfectly clean before assembly.
2. Whenever tapped holes are provided for jacking
screws, use them.
3. When fitting spigoted housings or covers,
ensure that the spigot is not burred and/or
damaged in any way.
4. Spigoted components should always be entered
evenly. Damage will be caused if a component
is entered in a tilted position.
Pipes, Nipples and Unions
1. Never strain or pull a pipe when connecting up,
find out why it does not meet the other com-
ponent.
2. Examine all pipes carefully for cracking, fati-
guing and chafing, especially at bends and
clips.
3. Pipes should also be examined for cracked
union nuts, dirt under the cones and seating of
the nipples.
Rubber Hose Connections
All rubber/nylon hose connections should be
examined for : .
1. Softening due to oil contamination.
2. Hardening due to the effects of heat.
3. General perishing.
Oil Seals
1. The Use of Part-worn Oil Seals
It is generally recommended that an oil seal which
has been removed or disturbed during unit overhaul
should not be refitted. It is permissible however, to
use an old oil seal if it can be left in its housing and on
the shaft, providing it was previously functioning
correctly.
Never allow an oil seal to pass through a degreasing
plant (trichorethylene) . On no account clean with
paraffin or petrol. Use a light lubricating oil.

2. Examination of Oil Seals prior to Refitting
To establish whether a seal is su itable for further
service, discard if :
. a. The wiping edge shows evidence of damage
and/or uneven wear.
b. The seal is loose in its shell.
c. The seal spring is broken or damaged.
d. The shell or metal components of the seal are
distorted or damaged.
3. To Fit an Oil Seal
a. Oil seals whether fitted with a single or double
wiping edge should be fitted with the spring
loaded wiping edge of the sealing member
towards the housing in which the lubricant is
to be retained.
b. Fit the seal into its housing with a service tool
approximately 0015 in (00381 mm) less in
diameter than the outer diameter of the seal, by
applying a firm uniform pressure squarely on it.
Avoid entering the seal into its housing in the
tilted position. Under no circumstances use a
drift and hammer to fit a seal, as the irregular
impact will loosen the rolled edge and release
the pressure of the inner member on the sealing
element and thereby cause seepage round the
sealing lip.
c. When the seal and housing are fitted into
position, ensure that the wiping edge is not
damaged in any way or the housing allowed to
rest in an incomplete stage of assembly where
its weight is taken by the seal, this can cause
either damage and/or distortion and result in
leakage.
Remember the service life of an oil seal is largely
determined by the treatment it receives during fit-
ment.
Air Pressure Bral<e System
Prior to carrying out any work on the air pressure
brake system it is recommended that the following
practises are observed to ensure effective operation
of the system and avoid the risk of premature failure.
1. Always wash valves and other components
with a suitable cleaning solvent and blow dry
with dry compressed air before removing from
the vehicle.
2. Charge the system to the normal operating
pressure before carrying out leakage tests.
3. To prevent the twisting of pipes, always use
two spanner when disconnecting or con-
necting pipe unions.
4. Never attempt to remove any component in the
air pressure system without first draining the
air storage reservoirs, by carefully opening the
drain taps.
5. Never neglect any signs of air leakage of a
unit.
6. Never allow unqualified personnel to interfere
with any brake component.
7. Unless absolutely necessary never interfere
with the adjuster screws on any of the valves.
The pressure setting is adjusted before the
vehicle leaves the factory and should not
normally require attention between unit over-
hauls.
8. P.T.F.E. tape must never be used to seal
tapered threads. It is. recommended that
Ragosine Ramus HMP8 grease is used, as
manufactured by the Ragosine Oil Company,
London.

SECTION 5.
LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
Introductory Notes
Lubrication, as it directly concerns maintenance
personnel , is the maintenance of lubricants of the
correct grade and quality between all bearing sur-
faces. All such surfaces are designed for operation
with a lubricant of definite properties and are
enclosed, sealed or otherwise protected to retain a
supply of that lubricant for a reasonable time.
Lack of lubricant causes overheating and the rapid
wear and deterioration of bearing surfaces. Alter-
natively, excessive lubrication will expand or distort
the seals intended to retain it, thus allowing the
lubricant to escape. In certain cases the overfilling
of such assemblies as gearboxes, axles, etc. , will
cause overheating and subsequent damage due to
the excessive 'churning' of the lubricant contained
within the assembly.
Never Mix Lubricating Oils
If this rule has to be broken in an emergency every
effort must be made to adhere to the following main
guiding points :
1. If unable to obtain a fully detergent engine oil ,
it will not do any harm to return to base on a
similar SAE viscosity Premium Oil of a reputable
make. In such cases, however, the engine
should be drained and the oil filters elements
changed at base at the first opportunity and the
unit refilled with oil to the correct specification.
2. The makes of oil given in the following tables
applicable to gearboxes and axles are almost
self-explanatory as regards the various grades
required.
Never put a hypoid oil into a unit which does
not call for hypoid lubricants. Rear axles
stipulating a hypoid 90 or 140 gear oil
must have this type of oil put in to
enable them to function correctly.
Under no circumstances should oils be used
other than those recommended by Atkinson
Vehicles Limited without the running unit
manufacturers approval.
Date :. January, 1969
Always use clean containers when topping-up or
refilling the various units, as the contamination of the
oil by grit or other foreign matter may produce
disastrous results.
If a water or coolant leaks into the engine lubri-
cation system is suspected, the oil should be checked
immediately and, if contamination has occured, it
should be drained, the oil filter element(s) changed
and the sump replenished with new oil to the correct
specification.
All filler caps, plugs and lubricators should be
cleaned before and after attention.
If units require an excessive amount of oil or if
leaks from seals or joints are noted they should be
reported and action taken at the earliest opportunity.
Units should be drained while the oil is warm and
free flowing.
Grease packed assemblies should be cleaned and
repacked at vehicle overhaul or alternatively at
periods which can be determined by local operating
experience or by perodic inspection of representive
units.
Some assemblies, such as brake valves, are usually
dismantled for lubrication at vehicle overhaul. These
parts will require more frequent attention if the
vehicle operates under exceptionally arduous con-
ditions.
Engine Lubricants
The engines of all chassis leaving the works of
Atkinson Vehicles Limited are filled with a Detergent
Engine Oil which meets the current U.S. Army Ord-
nance Specification M I L- L-21 048.
The table on Page 3 of this Section lists some
suitable oils but there are many others which are not
included. Where one oil is listed this is to Specifi-
cation MIL-M-21048 but where alternative oils are
shown the first named is to Specification M I L- M-
21048.
Under particularly arduous operating conditions it
may be found advantageous to use a Series II or III
Detergent Oil. Operators are advised to consult their
oil suppliers for their recommendations under such
conditions.
For more detailed information on the subject of
engine lubrication, operators are advised to refer to
the appropriate engine manufacturers publication.

Gearbox Lubricants
The types of oil vary widely, ranging from a type
, C-2 fluid' in Allison Automatic Transmissions to
SAE 140 in A.E,C. gearboxes.
Some suitable makes and grades of oil applicable
to the various types of gearboxes installed in Atkinson
Vehicles are listed on Page 4 of this Section.
Care must be taken to use the exact type and
viscosity of oil appl icable to the make and type of
gearbox concerned.
Rear Axle Lubricants
Here again, the types of oil can vary widely. Some
makers produce a Universal oil but where this is not
used, care must be taken to use the exact type and
viscosity of oil applicable to the make and type of
axle concerned.
Some suitable makes and grades of oil applicable
to the various types of rear axles fitted to Atkinson
chassis are listed on Page 5 of this Section.
Wheel Hubs and Universal Joint Lubricants
In some cases grease lubrication is used and in
others gear oils. Details together with some of the
suitable makes and grades of lubricants are shown
on Page 6 of this Section.
Miscellaneous Lubricants
There are many other miscellaneous grades of
lubricant for various parts of the chassis and these
are detailed on Page 7 of this Section together with
some of the makes and grades of oil which are
suitable.

Engine Coolants
To avoid any serious damage to an engine which
can be caused as a result of corrosion in the cooling
system, the system should be treated as fully des-
cribed in the Service Manual relating to the particular
engine concerned.
Anti-Freeze Fluids
1. The use of anti-freeze in cooling systems is
recommended if the atmospheric temperature
is likely to fall to OC (32 OF) or less
2. Full protection against both frost and corrosion
can be achieved by the addition of an ethylene
glycol (ethanediol) anti-freeze which conforms
with British Standard 3 150, 3 151, or 3 152 of
1959. Lower alcohols having a boiling point
less than 100 C (212 OF) are not recommended.
As all brands of anti-freeze conforming to the fore-
going British Standards contain a corrosion inhibitor
they not only prevent freezing but also reduce internal
corrosion.
If an anti-freeze to the above specification is used
throughout the year it is desireable to drain and flush
the system every six months and refill with the correct
solution. In this way internal corrosion will be largely
prevented.
3. If an anti-freeze to the foregoing specifications
is not used throughout the year it is highly
recommended that an effective corrosion in-
hibitor is introduced into the cooling system.
By this means internal corrosion of water
jackets, heat exchangers and radiators, etc., is
greatly reduced.
Every six months the cooling system should be
drained, flushed out with clean water and refilled
with a new solution of water and corrosion inhibitor.
Corrosion inhibitors of differing formula-
tions should not be mixed.
Always 'top-up' with a mixture of the same for-
mulation as the coolant already in the system.
Special Requirements for Cummins Engines
Only
All Cummins engines installed in current pro-
duction chassis are fitted with a corrosion
resister. This is a unit which by-passes a small
amount of coolant from the system through a
filtering and treating device. It softens water,
neutralises acidity and protects against cor-
rosion by the use of a service replaceable
chemically activated filtering element. An
ethylene glycol anti-freeze can be used with
a Cummins corrosion resister and full instruc-
tions for changing the element are contained
in the Cummins Service Manual.
Fluid Recommendation for Air Pressure
System Anti-Freezers
When Atkinson chassis are operated in atmos-
pheric temperatures below OC (32 OF) it is recom-
mended that a volatile anti-freeze fluid is used in the
air pressure system anti-freezer. This will prevent
the operation of the system being affected by frozen
atmospheric moisture.
The recommended fluid is methanol (methy
alcohol) but if this is not available, ethanol (ethyl
alcohol) or industrial methylated spirits may be used
The initial water content of any fluid used must not
exceed 1 %. Suitable fluids are usually referred to by
their alcoholic strength of 74 Over Rroof (British
System) or 198 Proof (American System) .
Caution: Non-volatile fluids such
as ethylene glycol (ethanediol) must
not be used in the anti-freezer unit
of an air pressure system.
