ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS 
86 
The following  guidelines  are intended  to ensure  the 
safety  of the  operator  whilst preventing  damage  to 
electrical  and any electronic  components  fitted to the 
vehicle. 
Before  commencing  any  test procedure 
on a vehicle 
ensure that the  test equipment  is working correctly  and 
any  harness 
or connectors  are in good condition,  this 
particularly  applies to mains  leads and plugs. 
WARNING:  Before commencing  work on an ignition 
system,  all high  tension  terminals,  adaptors and 
diagnostic  equipment 
for testing should be inspected  to 
ensure  that they  are adequately  insulated and shielded 
to  prevent  accidental  personal contacts and minimize 
the  risk 
of shock.  Wearers of surgically  implanted 
pacemaker  devices should not be in close  proximity  to 
ignition  circuits or diagnostic  equipment. 
L 
Polarity 
Never rcversc connect the vehicle  battery  and  always 
observe 
the correct  polarity  when connecting  test 
equipment. 
High  voltage  circuits 
Whenever  disconnecting  live high  tension  circuits 
always  use  insulated pliers and 
never allow the open 
end  of a high  tension  lead 
to come into contact  with 
other  components  particularly  electronic  control units. 
Exercise  caution  when  measuring  the  voltage 
on the 
coil  terminals  while the engine  is running,  since, high 
voltage 
spikes can  occur  on these terminals. 
Connectors  and harness 
Always  ensure  that thesc items are  dry  and  oil free 
before  disconnecting  and connecting  test  equipment. 
Never 
forcc connectors apart either  by using  tools or by 
pulling 
on the  wiring  harness.  Always ensure locking 
tabs  are disengaged  before  removal and note 
orientation to  enable correct reconnection.  Ensure that 
any  protective  covers  and  substances  are replaced 
if 
disturbed.  Having confirmed  a component  to be  faulty 
switch
-off  the  ignition  and disconnect  the  battery. 
Rcmove the  component and support  the disconnected  harness. 
When replacing  the component  keep  oily 
hands  away from electrical  connection  areas and push 
connectors home  until any locking  tabs fully  engage. 
Battery  disconnecting , 
Before  disconnecting  the battery,  switch off all 
electrical  equipment. 
Battery charging 
Recharge  the  battery out of the vehicle  and keep  the 
top  well  ventilated. While being charged  or discharged, 
and  for  approximately  fifteen  minutes afterwards, 
batteries  emit  hydrogen 
gas which is flammable. 
Always  ensure any battery  charging  area is well 
ventilated  and  that every  precaution  is taken  to avoid 
naked  flames  and sparks. 
GENERAL  PRECAUTIONS 
Switch-off ignition prior  to making any connection or 
disconnection in the system as clcctrical  surge caused 
by  disconnecting 
‘live’ connections  can damage 
electronic  componcnts. 
Ensure  hands  and  work surfaces  are clcan  and 
frcc of 
grease,  swarf,  etc.  as  grease collects  dirt  which  can 
cause tracking 
or high-resistance  contacts. 
When  handling  printed circuit boards,  treat 
them as 
you  would  a 
hi-fi record - hold by thc edges only. 
Prior  to commencing 
a test,  and periodically  during a 
test, touch a good  earth,  for instance,  a  cigar lighter 
socket, 
to discharge  body static  as  some  clcctronic 
components are  vulnerable to static electricity. 
TEST  EQUIPMENT 
A  range  of ‘Fast  Check’  testers is available  to provide  a 
means  of fast  effective  diagnosis 
of faults in electronic 
systems  currently  fitted  to Land 
Rover and  Range 
Rover  vehicles. 
It  is essential  that operators  familiarise  themselves  with 
the component> of the  system to be checked  and the 
instruction for the  relevant  fast check  test before 
commencing  diagnosis.

1. It is essential that the following  procedures  are 
adhcrcd  to.  Inaccurate  timing  can lead to 
scrious 
engine  damage  and additionally  create failurc to 
comply with the emission  regulations  applying to 
the  country  of destination.  If the  engine  is being 
checkcd in  the  vehicle  and is fitted  with an air 
conditioning  unit the compressor  must be isolated. 
2. On initial  engine  build, or if the distributor  has 
been  disturbed  for  any  reason,  the  ignition timing 
must  be set statically 
to within 2-3 of T.D.C. 
(This sequence  is to 
give only an approximation in 
order  that  the  engine  may be started) ON  NO 
ACCOUNT  MUST  THE ENGINE  BE STARTED 
BEFORE  THIS OPERATION  IS CARRIED OUT. 
Refer  to Engine Tuning Data for ignition  timing 
specification.

3. Couple stroboscopic  timing lamp  and  tachometer 
to  engine  following  the 
manufacturcrs instructions. 
4. Disconnect  the vacuum pipes  from thc distributor. 
5. Start  engine;  with no load and not exceeding 
3,000 rpm, run  engine until normal opcrating 
temperature  is reached.  (Thermostat  open). Check 
that  the  normal  idling speed  falls  within  the 
tolerance 
specificd in  table. 
6. Idle  speed  for  timing purposes  must not excccd 
750 rpm, and this speed  should  be achieved  by 
removing  a breather  hose, 
NOT BY ADJUSTING

7. With the  distributor  clamping  bolt slackened,  turn 
distributor  until 
the timing flash coincides  with the 
timing pointer  and the  correct  timing mark on the 
rim 
of the torsional  vibration dampcr as shown  in 
the  table. 
8. Retighten  the distributor  clamping bolt securely. 
Rccheck  timing 
in the event that  retightening  has 
disturbed  the distributor  position.
